British Scarface

Just watched this film, for free, thank God. What a load of predictable and stupid rubbish.

The script, storyline and acting are truly awful. What makes it even harder to watch is ALL the sound effects and dialogue appear to have been over dubbed onto the film, so any acting that was done is lost!!.

The acting is really bad, the story is even worse.

I have to agree with other comments about the fake reviews. When you look at all the reviews scoring this film highly, ALL the reviewers joined IMDb in April 2014 !!!!!!

I recommend everyone avoid this film, unless their house or a friend is in the background, cos there is no other reason to waste any time on this film. It really, really is rubbish. I am sure the film people didn't set out to make a bad film, but it should have been shelved. It is not a film to have on a CV.

I find 95% of British movies great and , to be honest, am probably rather biased, as I tend to dislike typical Hollywood movies, save a few. Even the British movies a lot of people do not like, I tend to. This is the reason I decided to watch the film, after reading the negative reviews on IMDb. A decision I regret. A single penny, cent, yuan or congolese franc spent on this movie is one utterly wasted. It is simply an abomination.

Firstly it is just odd, very odd. The timing in every scene is completely off, the dialogue ridiculous and the acting appalling. At one point I genuinely suspected it was a joke and they were attempting some kind of humour by acting as poorly as possible. In fact, perhaps they were. It is the only explanation I can come to.

The film is also accompanied by unnecessary sound effects. The front door to a house closing or opening has the sound effect of a creaking barn door and the sound of footsteps on normal floors replaced by hollow sounding steps. This is all the way through and the effects simply do not match the sound they are replacing would make. This has to be done on purpose, no-one could purposely make such glaring errors. The reason for this is perplexing. Maybe they were trying to be clever or 'arty'. If so, it was a huge failure on both counts.

It seems to have both very bad and very good reviews on IMDb. Like other commentators I can only assume the good reviews were left by people with a vested interest. I'd rather read war and peace backwards in Finnish than complete watching this film.

Wet afternoon, nothing on TV, put this on. Read some reviews on here.....Nothing could have prepared me for what followed. Even though some are accurate, the 8,9 and 10 scores made me give it a go, more fool me. I wouldn't know where to start if I actually went into detail. But, if you read all the positive reviews and decide to watch this utter drivel, then; don't say you haven't been warned. It is badly made, acted terribly, edited for sound by someone with terrible hearing and totally derivative.

It's utterly appalling!

Leave well alone.

Firstly, there is no way on God's earth this movie did $3.3million at the box office. I watched this in disbelief. It must have cost a tenner to make, it seemed like an embarrassing uni project. How this even got financed is beyond me. Someone somewhere said "you know what? This is a bloody good script, lets make it and get the cream of British actors to star in it". Well that person deserves to be locked up in a mental hospital. The only good thing to come out of this movie is the fact that it has given hope to all the new up and coming film makers. This is what you're up against folks, the bar couldn't get any lower. I don't know if it was made ironically as a spoof homage to all the bad gangster movies out there, if it was then great work but somehow I don't think it was. However, I urge anybody to watch this to see how unbelievably bad it really is. Take special notice of the sound effects in all the fight scenes. Priceless.

I have never been more compelled to, or ever written a review on here before and I watch endless films of all genres/ages etc. THIS IS SO VERY BAD ITS HILARIOUS ! Never heard such rubbish acting. Waiting for each other to finish their sentence, then a pause, then next person 'reading' it like off a script, OMG its worse than a school play rehearsal with script sheets in hand. No acting in their voices either, just lifeless reading of lines. Only the main character, bald guy, has a slightest hint of different tones in his voice..... Im honestly embarrassed for them making and releasing this. Watch if you want a giggle but not if you want an exciting British gangster style film like we were expecting.
