Lots of action, some laughs and a couple of curve balls in the plot line. The acting was done well, the story was unusual and very creative. I would recommend this movie, good for an evening of good solid entertainment. This movie was nominated for several awards, worth the watch for sure. There are some scenes that have violence, but they aren't gory or over the top if you're squeamish about copious amounts of blood and guts. Firecracker has a nice mix of drama, suspense, unexpected twists. The suspense builds subtly and consistently throughout the movie, we were entertained start to finish. Highly recommended.
Brilliant debut by Andrew Lee Potts; he has come a long way. The first time I saw him was in Primeval and I was hooked ever since. This is another class act to add to his list of achievements. Loads of twists and a fantastic plot, direction is A class. I am glad I watched this film.
Cinematography is very good and makes you feel immersed in the film all the way through. All cast are suited well to their parts and are believable characters.
Easy on the eye and interesting enough to keep your attention throughout the whole film, I sincerely hope this is not the last film from him and look forward to watching many more.

I came across this film on Amazon and so glad I did! This British film is brilliant. You will never guess the end, such a good twist. I looked up the Director and he is a well known British actor. What a talent. What a film. Can not recommend enough.
The acting from the 3 leads is incredible. You love them, you hate them, then you love them again. Very clever writing. I like the editing a lot as it never slumps and keeps you on your toes.
Nick Moran from Lock stock was my favourite, but all the cast did a fantastic job. Great mix of drama and British sarcasm. Indie film makers could learn a lot from this film. Ticks all the boxes.
Loved every minute.

OK so it's no Hollywood blockbuster but that's what excellent about it. Gritty and charismatic. Andrew is brilliant and leaves you guessing. Have been a fan since Primeval days which I'm also binge watching on sky right now. The plot is hard and rough and the scenery awesome and the rapport between Jack and Lena is quite dark and sometimes humorous and for Andrews first directing project its throughly engrossing, but then I love indy films esp japanese and french indy film noir. Thoroughly enjoyed, left me on the edge of my seat to the very end, totally recommend. Awesome film thank you all xxx.
Who doesn't like a gritty British crime drama?
Intense drama from Andrew Lee Potts debut Firecracker. Powerful performances and a scene stealing end performance from Katie Sheridan.
Stella cast including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Nick Moran and Jason Flemyng.
I could also see this working as a theatre piece with its tense dialogue and close up performances, all taking place within the vicinity of an empty house. Similar to The first 'Saw' movie but with less blood!
Great writing, cinematography and soundtrack and I look forward to seeing what Andrew Lee Potts imagination creates next!
