Sharkers

Thoroughly enjoyed this captivating, wonderfully silly film. Sharkers is low budget indie film making at it's very best; a fast paced, hallucinatory thrill ride.

With an incredible cast and some particularly memorable, unhinged performances from Neal Ward and Patrick Chamberlain, Sharkers follows jilted lover, Franky (played brilliantly by Niki Burton) on single night of increasingly absurd debauchery - incidentally the structure of this reminded me a little bit of my favourite kid's book, 'Fortunately', by Remy Charlip...but with a lot more ketamine) - building to a crescendo of blood and neon.

The movie begins innocent enough with an interaction between the main character and his partner. Appears to be the beginning of a romantic movie. However, our protagonist takes a step backward which leads to the possible loss of his relationship and into the arms of unsavory characters. The movie starts to feel like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with the odd close-ups and camera movement that aid the story. The cinematographer uses light as a source to enrich the scenes, whether hot pink or orange, bright then sometimes unfocused to "confuse" the audience.

Then it moves into the realm of Clockwork Orange with psychopaths in full stride and the dismantling of the main protagonist's mind as he suffers through one train wreck after another. Definitely a movie if you like psychological mind games and worth a look.

Brace yourself for a visually striking onslaught of wildly weird-world story telling. I love this directors' bold, provoking, no-holds-barred, take no prisoners approach to indie filmmaking. It's Sacha Baron Cohn meets Warhol meets Scorsese. It's wild. It's fun. It's in your face intoxicating and precisely what indie films should be. The story is interesting enough, but it's really the look that captivates with style on steroids. There's a wonderfully challenging British feel to the whole thing that had me thinking back to films like Trainspotting and How to Get Ahead in Advertising, it really is that cutting edge. Oh, did I fail to mention there are chainsaws and people who get in the way of them. What's not to like.

Omg this film was epic!!! It had me laughing my head off and the characters in it were so funny. You have to watch this film!! It's bloody brilliant. Pun intended! After all, YOLO! You'll literally laugh your head off.

I bloody love this film. Oh my God LOL!! You can't help feel for Frankie and what he's going through and it was fun watching him deal with the messy situations he gets himself into.

I really enjoyed the camera angles and the close ups.i just laughed so much! I thoroughly recommend you watch this film! It's original with an outstanding cast. If I could give it eleven stars I would!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very unexpected, I've always appreciated a movie like this a really fun adventure. It definitely hit my funny bone. I noticed posts about it so I gave it a chance and laughed through more than half of it. The soundtrack also had me nodding the tracks bumped. Then I realized Neal Ward was in this if you're unsure of who he is watch Feed Me and Hosts after this one. The director is also one of the main characters and did a great job as well hilarious IMO . If I had one complaint it would be to put more money into practical gore besides that it's all good. If you want to see a bunch of SOV type blood, drugs, brutal Brits, hooligans and teeth coverings this may be the movie your looking for. Yes I recommend this movie.
