This is one of those flicks you love or hate. If you are into suspense or a good thriller forget it, if you want to see the red stuff flowing copious then this is your flick. If you watch closely you will see the Italian horror legend Giovanni Lombardo Radice (pseudonym John Morghen) as drug dealer Hopper. The acting is mediocre, some do it a bit too theatrical or some over the top. The problem for some is the accent used. The movie doesn't have any subtitles so to understand the slang and dialect you really have to listen very carefully. But for a low budget the effects used are really good. It's a gorefest and some scene's it's only about shooting but the removal of a cock will turn some faces away from the screen. i will not recommend it for the easily offended. The movie starts immediately with nudity from male and female. But I liked it, I have seen other mafia flicks from the UK but this surely delivers better acting and the gore you are watching for. Be advised that it isn't a horror but a straight in your face flick.

I'll Be A Little More Lenient Than The Others
Is it important that you catch this little British ditty? Not really. It's really nothing more than a collegiate flick for a student's final. The acting was poor and could've easily been done by the filmmaker's extended family. This version of 'A Day of Violence' had some colour issues, too. The general hue was de-saturated browns; blood looks black or dark brown and the general lighting was sepia-toned, even black and white in some areas.
Yes, the film was uneven, but something about it did grasp my attention. Maybe it was the ultra violence. I believe this is the first time I've seen an upside down man have his nards removed by garden shears. Gruesome, indeed. Kinda looked real, too. It's the scene that was missing from 'Grotesque'. I guess in Japan they have very little prosthetic penises so you have to make do with what's there.
This "film" looked like it was shot digitally. I do wish they either improve that medium or get rid of it altogether. It just doesn't work for movies. It makes the presentation look way too amateurish. I do give the movie some points for editing; at least it wasn't slow paced once the action started. Oh, well. It wasn't a total waste. I do enjoy those British accents, eh wot?
No Payoff

Kind of a bad Brit flick that starts like a porn film. Lots of screaming, but little of interest goes on.
Take it or leave it. I don't think it really delivers.
