Worth seeing,quite dark at times(subject rather than lighting),you go through a whole range of emotions,interested to see what others make of it.

I thought it was a good film!

I really enjoy Caine's films and this was no exception, though different to what I was expected - it was very dark!

Just got back from the Cinema, and Caine still cuts it, Dark, uncompromising, gritty, violent
and not for the faint hearted. Brilliant Go see it

Am I really the only one to think the story was incredibly weak? The way it just jumps along, then this happens, then this happens and finally that happens?

I wanted to like it, I came out (of the cinema) trying to feel positive, but the more I thought about it the less I liked it. Will elaborate with spoiler tags if anybody wishes.

I liked it, Plan B was quite good as Noel as well, considering he is really a rapper/musician...

No, I'm with you there. I quite enjoyed the film, and agree that it was definatly dark and gritty, but the actual story was very short.

Saw it last night and thought it was great. Caine is still the man.

(spoiler)

The only bit that I wasn't a huge fan of was the scene where he's obtaining his guns from the junkie dealers. Don't get me wrong - it was entertaining ("you have failed to maintain your weapon") and well acted. It just ruined the suspension of disbelief a bit I feel.

I went to see it a few weeks ago. I'd agree with the comments on the story, there's a fair few holes there, but it didn't seem to make any difference to how much I enjoyed it. Quite liked the junkies taste in guns tho!

I saw it last night. It was alright and had some shocking moments but I was hoping for more of a body count. The ending felt a bit of a stretch though.

Quote was straight out of a Segal film, the junkie bit was ridiculous.
