The problem some people have with this film is that it might hit a little too close to home as anyone who grew up on an estate in London or the UK for that matter have seen for themselves the lack of policing in some areas and have also seen that lots of crime go on without anyone blinking an eye, this London / UK is never really put in films as I think some filmmakers might find it not appealing to viewers outside of the UK but honestly, this films shows a lof of truths.

I can't recommend this film enough and the fact that on IMDB / Trakt it is put down as an action film kind of upsets me as the film has so much more going for it, all of the actors in this film are amazing and this film really is some of the best British film making I have seen with some scenes building amazing tension but at the same time making the viewer (especially if you find the story or characters relatable) feel emotionally invested. At times it can be a little cliched but the actors and director for that matter pull it off perfectly, also I would like to mention Ben Drew (Plan B) for his acting in this film as I know him more for his music but his performance in this film is really great as I have met and went to school unfortunately with people like his character and he nailed it.

Definitely add this one to the watchlist and check it out, in my opinion, essential for any brit to watch but also anyone who just wants to see some justice being dealt out by Michael Caine in an emotional performance.

Found this a bit painful to be honest. I'm not denying the realism and good acting but its such a depressing view of life.
