Unoriginal and insulting to real London lads, I'm sure looking at the so called London underworld through rose coloured spectacles is all well and good for posh university types who don't have a clue but it's not really saying anything new. If your gonna make a funny gangster film at least try to tell a believable story with funny lines not just a film showing stupid situations. Must Try Harder

Not Good
Not a bad film, but certainly not a good one....
Yet another "london based madcap comedy" littered with a few familiar British faces and a lot of unknowns.
Not a bad film, but certainly not a good one. It centres on 4 black DJ friends in their twenties, ducking and diving trying to think of ways to make money for their individual cash flow problems....
obviously this involves getting involved with drugs, porn and a vast array of really odd over the top characters along the way.
Very much like "SOUTH WEST NINE" and "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT....", and about as enjoyable, which is not very.

Instantly forgettable but technically competent
Films like this are essential teething projects for new talent, looks like one writer (and main character) has gone on to direct a lot of TV, so it paid off.
It was clearly a modest budget film and it is a little inconsistent, but it's well-intentioned good fun, and can be enjoyed for what it is. It's of its time, of course, and nobody will call it the crown of their career, but it's a film that got made competently and gave people a start/leg-up.
Some of the cast have gone on to do some bigger stuff, too.
