Shooters

Seriously, this is my favourite film - and I'm a 'buff'. It makes a mockery of Hollywood when there isn't a single paid actor in this film and yet the performances are utterly absorbing and easily more convincing than those you usually get from so called 'stars of the screen'. The plot draws you into a disturbingly realistic world of Scouse gangsters and the situations they get themselves into. I've made a lot of my friends watch this film, and even the ones who need subtitles still find that it gets under their skin, and they end up asking to borrow it to show THEIR friends, too. All I can say without spoiling the plot is WATCH THIS FILM and see how this kind of drama should be made - You won't regret it!

What a great film. This is made by actual people, not actors, but people who live in Liverpool and are connected to the underworld. Its realness and rawness are evident. These aren't actors, and that realism comes across in the film and makes it unlike any other film I've ever seen, its so real. Don't get me wrong, its not a documentary but a story put together by director Dan Reed and the cast and crew of the film, its very spontaneous and a class bit of work by everyone.

Its a great look at the underworld of Liverpool, and the gang element is typical in fact of any British city or town and the characters are easy to relate to. Great film.

Coming from Liverpool, it was very strange to see and hear the very people you had heard of, who were not to be crossed, acting in a film!

In my opinion it is a very realistic snapshot of the seedier, more murky side of Liverpool, with gangsters and, as the film title suggests, guns.

You wouldn't believe that the actors are actually real people from that seedier world... their performances considering this are superb.

Brilliant film in my opinion, hoping they make another to tie up all the loose ends left from this.

Quality.

It's no masterpiece for sure, but arguably the best of the cutting edge series. The use of non actors from the locality, and the improvised dialogue adds depth and realism, to a bleak urban existence that predated The Wire. Them Scousers again.

This movie ought to be realistic, almost documental but actually it´s more like a diploma work of a film student with some friends. Dan Reed may have wanted to create something really deep and revealing but no go. Though the characters are colourful and perhaps indeed realistic, there´s not much of context and content to build a full movie on it. Nonetheless it´s worth watching if you lack ideas how to spend time like They do in the movies...
