charts the rise of Carlton Leach from football casual to east end gangland lieutenant
very few films show violence on screen as brutal as this..we're talking at one point you see a guy getting shot point blank in the face with a shotgun...you then see whats left of him...eye popping out...the works
its also hilariously funny in parts
the plot kind of races through and skips over some aspects of the main characters life and it skips about chronologically at the end a little
but over all...definitely one of the most entertaining British films i've seen in a long long time
i never read anything on it before i watched it...
there's alot of debate because its based on a real event and there's alot of criticism that its nothing like what actually happened...but then it makes reference to that by the fact that it gives alternative rumours about the final 3 murders in the film
well then i can vouch for it not being the case...some of the voice over at the start is a bit unconvincing but even craig fairbrass puts in a good performance
