I Against I

I know that not every British gangster flick should be measured against Guy Ritchie's work. And, to be fait, I Against I is nothing like Ritchie's work - in other words it's pretty awful. Whereas as Ritchie can make a complex narrative with numerous characters come together and let the viewer easily make sense out of it, I Against I just seems to want to play around with the narrative structure for the sake of it Basically, it's a jumbled mess. Again, the far superior Pulp Fiction moved beginning to end and vice versa and got away with it. Some films can do that. This one can't. Scenes seem to happen in random order, making it increasingly hard for the viewer to follow what's happening.

Then there's the characters - who cares about them? They're not particularly likable and the fact that the story's told out of order makes it hard to keep track of them.

A low budget British gangster film without any major names attached to it was always going to be hard work. And indeed it was.

Not nearly as good as the poster claims. A bit hit and miss throughout and barks more than bites. One of those films I would have completely forgotten about, if indeed I had not noted it down.

Not a bad film. It is different to a lot of your usual Brit gangster films . OK there are a few flaws but this film was obviously not made with a Hollywood budget .

It is a well crafted fast paced stylishly shot film noir which reminds me of some the old black and white movies from the 50's. The London locations add to the atmosphere and there are some good performances especially Ingvar Sigurdson who's ice cold demeanour is a constant plus throughout the film. This film is different from what I expected and the twist is also unexpected.  So if you like a femme fatal , a dark film with a good twist you should check this out .

A couple of 1 star reviews given, so amongst the worst films ever made. And a 10 star review, so amongst the best ever films. Mmmm. Probably somewhere in the middle. Good points, cinematography is great, and there is a dark ambiance and mood to the film, it's not immediately obvious what is gong to happen, but it does confuse at times. Bad points, acting not so great, and maybe too much driving in cars. Also, is a bit tough to like he characters or care for them. I can think of loads of worse films, but I can also think of loads of better ones too. I recently saw The Master, and this film is nowhere near that, but is better than a film called The Covenant that I saw on DVD recently.

I have just watched it and must say that I was constantly excited. The actors, especially Kenny Doughty, make the whole movie worth watching it. Of course it is not a Hollywood one but it is from UK! What I like on this movie that it was filmed in London which makes it really authentic. Of course some scenes are quiet tough but the good actors in it makes it a good film. I wish my English was a little bit better so that I could describe in more details. If you want watch a thrilling movie that comes from the UK, also with UK actors then I would say you got to watch it.To summarize it: over popcorn and beer I can really recommend watching it.
