The Violators

Another reviewer has captured exactly why The Violators is worth viewing with the comment it is "for lovers of film". This is brilliant story telling brought together by the sounds and movement of film. There are twists and turns, delicate moments, subtleties by the film maker all of which which require your full attention. I was glad to be confused. It encouraged me to absorb all the elements of the film - characters, dialogue, set, locations, and the broader social issues being presented. Very glad to have watched the film. The cast deliver the story superbly, it is wonderful acting, they are authentic. Important to note the setting in and around Liverpool and Merseyside is crucial, it brings with it an authenticity. Refreshingly far from typical London centric of so many films. The Violators is modern British story telling delivered by the medium of film.
