The Intent 2: The Come Up (2018)
Before the T.I.C and the Clappers crew were formed, the members worked for a ruthless Yardie boss, Beverly. One of the boys, Jay has ambitions to set up on his own. He has no money, his car keeps getting towed away, every move he makes to get money and lift himself out of the everyday struggle is unsuccessful.

Inspired by his high-flying girlfriend, Selene, he sets about laying the foundations for his own organised crime ring. Things are going seemingly well until he is arrested and Beverley discovers his hidden ambition. An ill-fated robbery after a stint in jail and a trip to Jamaica tears the crew apart. All their actions are being monitored by an undercover police officer who goes by the street name Gunz, who has been deployed by the Met Police to ingratiate himself with the crew. 

With the same grit, humour and action sequences as its predecessor, THE COME UP promises to follow THE INTENT in becoming an instant cult classic but with international reach.

Released in association with Island Records. 

Track: Da Beatfreakz feat. Giggs-Swingin in the Whip

    Typical British gang film.

    Very poor acting , The first film out of the two wasn't bad, st least it had a story to follow, but this one was very boring. Same old thing, drugs get robbed , boys want to get paid. I'll save you 2 hrs and say find another film to watch.

    garbage

    What a total waste of time. Had to use english subtitles to even have a chance at understanding their trash english!

    Very impressed

    So I didn't watch the first one so I saw on the day u went to see part 2. Intent 1 was terrible, took the risk to watch intent 2 and it was worth it much much better then the first reminded me of kidulthood. Recommend to watch it. It has comedy, action, drama.

    I really wanted to like it...

    I really wanted to support the cause and I did make it through to the end credits. BUT it really was bad. It reminded me of one of those really bad soap dramas on terrestrial TV when you're abroad. In fact that's pushing it, at least those soaps have a plot you can understand even if you can't understand what they're saying!

    It felt like different parts of the film were made by different people with different skill levels, different budgets, different visions and different scripts. Like they all went off and made their bit independently, then someone else tried their best to stick all the pieces together and make sense of it all.

    Some good scenes, music and even 'some' good acting. But so far and few between. So much of it was that bad it was almost painful to watch. A real shame especially after the first one. Two stars because I feel bad it was that bad.

    watch 50% of the worst film I've seen in years.

    Ended up at the cinema watching this due to a 'administrative error'. watched it for an hour and even that was way too long.

    Worst film I seen in years - really do not watch this - its minutes of your life you'll never get back
