I’ve reviewed quite a few British gangster movies and know what to expect, some take themselves a little too seriously and others look to offer comedy. As long as you know that then there is a good chance they end up being entertaining at least. The British gangster movie to be released is Hackney’s Finest, which is a film I remember looking for funding from a Kickstarter campaign, so it’s nice to see an independent film getting some success to mainstream distribution.

Launched on Kickstarter last month, upcoming British gangster film, Hackney’s Finest, is heading for the last hurdles on its path to distribution.
The two-month production was completed earlier in the year, and is just shy of its £6,000 goal over on Kickstarter, with a little under a week left on the clock.
To help whet your appetite, a new extended trailer has landed online, giving a good look at what’s to come. And though some of the accents feel a little off – though, having never been to Hackney, take that with a pinch of salt – it looks like a kind of Lock, Stock fifteen years on.
Hackney’s Finest is a lighthearted journey into the dark underbelly of London. A fast-paced crime thriller, packed with intrigue, corruption, dirty police, Afghan heroin smugglers, Welsh-Jamaican arms dealers and Eastern-European skinheads!
