having enquired how much this film cost to make, I am amazed it got onto the screen at all.If Kris McManus can make a film like this on his budget, what does the future hold?? Yep, it was a bit wobbly at the start, but the cameo appearance of Charlie Boorman can't have hurt, a gesture for which I admire him, there can't have been much money in it for him! Some of the scenes were so absorbing that you completely forgot what the quality lacked. Violent, yes, but not gratuitously so. I found the screenplay excellent, and rather more convincing than some of the high budget, convoluted stuff you can see. I thought the atmosphere of the film was brilliantly achieved. The threatening seediness of the bare knuckle boxing scene had me on the edge of my seat. The hairs stood up on my neck when the "Pikeys" appeared to do justice to the bikers who had defaced their caravan. Slow start perhaps, but it amply repays perseverance. The camera quality wasn't that great, but the cameraman had enough skill to compensate to a large degree.To my great surprise, I was really impressed.
