1 star: couldn't watch more than 15 minutes. Unwatchable!
2 star: jumped my way to the end for the ending. Unwatchable, but interested in how this turd ended.
3 star: watched it all, but not happy about it. Nothing better to do.
4 star: I watched it, liked it well enough. Would never watch it again.
5 star: Great moving picture show! I'll watch it again, and maybe again in a few years.

Just a great flick!

Surprising

Rarely do I enjoy an English/Ausie film, but this one was actually pretty entertaining, with mild humor. The first several minutes I thought I might stop the movie, but then It caught my interest more. There are some surprises in this story as well.

Wow what a funny movie, but also full of action. Twists and turns and left me feeling happy in the end. 6 stars. The brits sure do have a great sense of humor. 50 cents has improved as an actor also. Not fit for children under 12 but other than that let everyone see this one. Trust me.

Best British movie ever

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2016

Awesome. Best British movie I've ever seen. Strange that the "star" was outshined by an actor that looked like Antonio Banderas and just as good. Strange also that 50 cent is now broke. Well back to the rapping board where he started. I was going to give it a 4, but it had a great ending.

A well done movie. Good acting for the most part. The plot was a little different, and you never knew what to expect. Had a little comedy to it. I highly recommend it.

Shrek-Head....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2015

A loan shark gives ex-con Nick a period of 24 hours in order to pay back the money he owes.

Up against it, Nick involves his best mate on a multi-part mission in order to raise the cash before it's too late for them both....

If you go to see a film featuring Tammer Hassan and Danny Dyer and Produced by two premiership footballers and expect it to be a work of art, you are not living in the real world.

The plot is simple, Nick has to pay 100 grand back in a day, or him and his mother will be killed, what Nick doesn't know is that he has no chance to pay the money back as he has been bugged and 50 cent wants to make an exception of him.

So he grabs Dyer and they go on a beano to make the money in any way possible, and the outcome is throwaway silly crap that works in a way that only a film featuring the two leads could.

These guys have a lot of chemistry together, and anybody who happens to like movies by nick love will know this, they throw off lines as if they are best mates, and they really work well together when ever they are both on screen,

Hassan for once has a good role, he isn't a gangster or a heavy, though the story implies that he was once both of these. Dyer is Dyer and plays the same tole he does in all of his films, but he does this best, so why change anything?

The scenarios are quite funny, and it gets sillier the more money the pair make, but you know that everyone will be okay come the end, so it's a case of just sitting back and enjoying it.

Some of the casting is a bit strange, Jackson cannot act, it was evident in Righteous Kill and Get rich or die trying', and the presence of Davies, Blethyn and Walters is just wasted.

But this is Hassans and Dyers movie and they make it work well.

Don't take it seriously and enjoy it for what it is, a movie for a wet Friday night with lots of mates and beer.

“Ski Dubai.” [Nick],

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

This 2009 comedy crime drama centres on hoodlum Nick (Tamer Hassan) who owes £100,000 to a loan shark but due to the financial downturn, Mr. Thigo (Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson) decides to gives Nick just 24 hours to pay back the debt or Nick’ wheelchair bound mum (Brenda Blethyn) dies. With the help of Bing [Danny Dyer], financially challenged Nick tries to raise the cash.
Full of weird and wonderful low life characters this moves along at a steady pace in a fun and irreverent manner. This is sure to raise a smile or even a few laughs if you can enter into the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ spirit of it all and suspend belief in reality as some of the scenes stretch credibility to breaking. The script may not be the sharpest but it does get you rooting for the two friends as they gradually increase their funds by various nefarious means. There are a few twists to add interest, but it’s Brenda Blethyn who steals the screen.
The single disc loads to play, scene selection, audio set-up [5.1 or 2.0] and bonus features [featurette, cast & crew Interviews, B roll]. This 15 rating features no sex or nudity but drug dealing does feature strongly. There is some swearing, but not a great deal for this type of gangster movie and the violence is quite tame really. The music has a good deep baseline that rave fans will love. If you want a light hearted buddy movie this is worth a try.

One of the best cockney flicks

We watch this film every few months and it always entertains. The two stars are perfect for this witty against-the-clock crime caper. The scenes with 'disabled' Brenda Blethyn and shotgun-toting Phil Davis in her living room are marvellous!
