In the gritty, swarming, multicultural streets of London, a dealer's regular day goes down the loo in a high-paced, quick-witted barrage of bullets. I most loved the Jamacian-Welsh bad boys Tony and B, with their mix of comic relief and their bad-ass moves. Watch out for Jane's tension-blitzer moments. Was surprisingly moved by what the character Asif brought to the story. Recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, as will anyone who loves the hoodlum / gangster / drug dealing gone wrong / bent copper / London geezers genre.It is like an updated Lock, Stock; but with a darker edge and some really believable, and nasty, characters.Arin Allridge is great as the main bent copper and steals the show.The two black, Welsh dudes with shooters a plenty provide a mirthful comic aspect.The London presented appears very empty, but this is an independent movie, and probably could not cope with many extras - and, as it is set through the night, this desolation helps with the tone of the film.SO: Put your feet up.Crack open a can of fizzy.Sit back.Have 90 minutes of fun.

Review: I thought that was going to be your typical English gangster movie with the usual elements, but I quite enjoyed this crazy crime caper, even though they have to be some of the dumbest criminals in East London. Its about a drug dealer called Sirus who is wanted by a crooked cop who arrests his best friend (Asif) and blackmails him to go undercover so they can take-down Sirus in his next big drug deal with some Welsh Jamaicans. The cops plans end up going completely wrong because the Jamaicans are heavily armed so they hire some crazy, heroin taking thugs who try to help them get the shipment of drugs. Anyway, after a while the small time drug dealer ends up fighting for his life with the help from the Jamaicans who strike a deal to keep the shipment if they get them out alive. The plot was crazy and the characters, who were mostly heroin users, seemed to love being in the middle of East London in a big shoot out. The only person that seemed slightly scared of the whole situation was Sirus who didn't really know how to handle a gun at before they started to get shot at. I must admit, I did enjoy the crazy Welsh Jamaicans, even though I didn't know what they were saying half of the time, but it did get a bit silly after a while. Its better than a lot of the English gangster movies that I have seen lately because of the witty script and the amount of guns they use throughout the film but it isn't as good as Guy Ritchies earlier work and it did seem a bit far fetched. Watchable!Round-Up: I haven't seen any of these characters before, so I can't really comment on them as actors, but they did put in good performances which made the film watchable. It really did seem like the director used all of the stereotypical aspects of the different nations in this film, like the crazy meat head Eastern Europeans who just wanted to kill any and everyone and the Welsh Jamaicans who had a heavy artillery and new everything about guns. Personally, thats what made me laugh about the movie and then fact that no one really feared for there life but Sirus. The corrupt racist cops and the Asian drug dealers were other aspects the storyline which made it quite interesting and the non-stop craziness was put together well by the director. Anyway, it's worth a watch if you want to see a film about a load of Heroin addicts and corrupt cops fighting against each other but don't expect anything with morality or a deep and meaningful storyline.I recommend this movie to people who are into their English crime capers about a drug dealer who is on the run from corrupt cops who want his stash. 4/10

Following in the footsteps of a Great British love affair with heist and gangster movie, Hackney Finest hits the bullseye.The grim story is seasoned by just the right amount of (dark) humour. In this regard, it definitely echoes some of Guy Richie or Tarantino's moments of brilliance.The characters are, if not lovable, definitely charismatic. The eastern European gangsters are just as hilarious as they are scary.Hackney Finest is not trying to revolutionise the genre: it embraces it, and definitely delivers.Another side thing I liked, especially in regards to the current attitude of "spoiling trailers", is that Hackney's Finest trailer stays true to the spirit of film without giving away the very best bits. Refreshing
