Loved it!, 4 September 2005
8/10
Author: Paul Ovey (paulovey@hotmail.com) from United Kingdom

I loved this film, the music and the costumes, just caught the feel of the 80s and got it spot on.

Yes, none of the actors are that well known, but then in my book thats a good thing, I don't go into the film with any pre conceived ideas.

And yes sometimes the language does cut very close to the bone, but these people are hardened criminals, and its a 18 cert as well, so that should give you some idea of the content.

I say go and see it, and just enjoy yourself and have a few laughs for 2 hours.

And did i mention the sound track, dust off those shell suits and enjoy.
