    Please trust me when i say anyone who has a bad word to say about this movie has no idea what a great piece of film is,yes its a low budget film,yes Neo and trinity aren't in it and yes its set in and around Liverpool and not the matrix but this film offers things that you may not of seen in any film before,from the start you feel like your watching an expensive recreation clip from a episode of crime-watch,its almost surreal the first thing that come's to mind is that its a documentary but its not, its brilliantly put together and like a hybrid of both, its a Movietary,it grips you because of its realism. Based around scouse crimmies the acting is excellent, and there not even real actors,majority of them are actual Liverpool criminals their names in the film are their names in real life,and most of which have actually committed similar crimes to what they portray in the film,but even with their disadvantage of not being trained seasoned actors,there performances are still of a standard that makes you draw in and relate to their characters,performances i feel even some Hollywood A-listers fail to achieve,and even though the story moves no boundaries and dosen't have you on the edge with anticipation its still a pretty solid film.Shooters may not be as compelling as say rise of the foot-soldier or exciting and humorous as lock stock but thats because it dosen,t have to be,we have lots of compelling British gangster films,we have lots of humorous exciting films,but there are no films like Shooter its truly groundbreaking,this film was made for less money than a Steven Spielberg movie crew's monthly coffee bill,the genius here is not the acting or even writing its in the direction,obviously Dan Reed has lots of talent in his writing but more so in his directing which is why i feel that he and this film deserved more recognition than what it received.Americans have been trying to create films with this much realism in them for years,and there claim to achieving that is 2000's traffic.and with millions and millions spent and over 10+ Hollywood A-listers and 4 Oscars,for realism in real life events and situations this low budget film shows how its done.We show the world how to write story's and tales which are used to make the greatest of films,we show the world how to go about acting and performing by producing the greatest actors and actresses,and with director's of Dan Reeds ability we will be showing the world again.Also check out Dan's 2007 straightheads ,danny dyer and xfiles fitty Gillian Anderson.Next Hollywood blockbuster will be BRAVE NEW WORLD Author Aldous Huxley Director Ridley Scott producer Danny Boyle Narrator Anthony Hopkins-Sean Connery Cast Sean Bean,Kate Beckinsale,Helena Bonham Carter,Ian Holm,Keira Knightley,Gary Oldman,Alan Rickman,Tim Roth,Patrick Stewart,Emma Watson,Kate Winslet,Emily Blunt,Ewan Mcgregor,Gerard Butler,Jonathan Rhys- Meyers.There you go best selling sci fi book at moment,best sci fi director,greatest cast 3 Scots a Welshman rest English.lmao Shia LaBeouf doesn't get a sniff.

  • Silent Hill, a winner for me

    After waiting in anticipation for Silent Hill's release I found that it didn't disappoint. The film is based on the computer game (which I have also enjoyed in the past) and lives up to expectation. The direction is great with excellent effects and a eerie, Gothic atmosphere that you would expect to see from a film of this genre. The cast is well chosen, except for Sean Bean (sorry Sean) who's personality out weighed the role he was given. All in all it is a truly great film, great visuals and amazing sound effects. This film has had a few bad reviews which I really can not understand . This is a must for the cinema in order to get the full effect of the atmosphere, it wont be as enjoyable on you home T.V, trust me!
