An angry, gritty grenade of a film, that questions the ends, the means, and everything in between of UK drug laws.
An inspiring debut by Sheikh Shahnawaz - one of the best Midlands' directors since Shane Meadows.
Nolan-esque in all the right ways, and with a third act that'll hit you much harder than 'The Departed'.
Phenomenal score by Savfk.
The film's genius is the tangled ties between Gurj Gill's ambitious cop and Jason Adam's abandoned junkie.

Séance Heist: Vengeance and greed lead a pair of incompetent criminals into a psychic's den of danger and deceit.
Haunting, hilarious and thoroughly entertaining, this is a comedy of escalating catastrophes and a tragic ode to the unlucky.
Another pinnacle for Les Dennis, a gifted supporting cast, and a beautifully impressive third act.
Some of the first act's characterisations, dialogue and plot may be a little predictable.
Mental health issues may be over-generalised.
But there's more chance of you being hit by a meteorite than not enjoying this film with a wide grin!

A home video from the '90s captures the chaos of a family coping with three life-changing events over 24 hours.
Claustrophobic, caustic, yet tremendously charming, and achingly retro-cool!
BDM is blessed with innovative direction, deadpan dialogue, and a gifted cast.
Remarkable last five minutes that teaches movies with greater budgets how to properly do closure.
Some may find the breadth of characters to be overwhelming, and the narrative at times underwhelming.
But this remains one of the best Kiwi mockumentaries since 'What We Do In The Shadows', from one of NZ's best kept secrets.
Ka pai!
