OMG this film is bleak and darker than the original Batman movie with Michael Keaton. Michale Caine plays this out a lot like Gran Tarino before and also to an extent Up (I know it was a kids movie but their were deep themes in that film).
It is easy to compare this to Gran Tarino because an elderly man takes on the youth of the horrible kids on the Estate in England.
This film is always dark even when it is shoot in the day, it is as scary as Animal Kingdom with the music always building the scenes up.
There is one scene in this movie that was so disturbing and graphic even I was scared!
Don't get me wrong this is a good movie set in a horrible place with a horrible story to tell. Ben Drew (AKA Plan B - great musician currently with tracks like She Said, Stay Too Long & My Love Goes Down) is freaky as one of the main bad kids!
Please don't see this if you hate drug use, the C word and extreme violence, it's not for everyone but well worth a look in 3 stars.
