If you're expecting Hot Fuzz then you'll get it but without the comedy. This is a seriously impressive commentary on the patriarchy inherent and the festering hate for men from the 60s compared to the male supportive black man in current day, all this adapt around a horror, fashion film with a greta soundtrack makes it utterly unpredictable and beautiful if not dark to watch! This is an art film, not an art comedy like Edgar's other films. Edgar always completes its narratives and character arcs which makes this so satisfying to watch. Having lived in London for 25 years (33 now), I think is a superb depiction of London and of course a subtle nod to "Jack the Ripper". Maybe the Ripper is a was a consortium of men that is portrayed by Edgar? Who knows? , which is what I love about this move.

This went by in a blink with no memorable moments, the only thing this film has going for it is the cast which still don't give you a reason to not turn this off! The film was based around the fact that it's not just about the show but who wears it? Who does wear it? When do we see Jordan? This film required a lister to take a back seat and find a young and promising Jordan actor! You only have to look at how fast this was released online to see that it's just not a good film and Ben and Matt are past their hood will hunting days. A lot of scripts relying on true stories and falling short is apparent, is there any creativity in film making anymore?

It was OK, but not having a helmet whilst riding a bike in the UK ripped me totally out of the film. John Favreau did it better in a film called "Chef". We needed to see more of the back story and be able to feel the redemption.
