A man of mystery, I like that

JediSi from , 17th September, 2007

The thing about Shooters that makes it good, is the fact that is possibly the most credible modern day gangster film. When watching this film do not expect Lock Stock or Snatch or you may well be disappointed. It’s fairly low budget, but the script is especially enjoyable, the acting top notch, it just hasn’t got all the glitz. The action scenes are plenty good enough and it doesn’t fail to entertain. Very watchable.

shooters is worth a shot

Stefan Pearce from london, 21st February, 2005

shooters is worth a shot.its a well thought out film but like most brit films if it had more money spent on it it would b a cult classic.if you like drug deals going wrong and lots of swearing and violence against a london backdrop this is worth a watch

Good

A Customer from Newcastle Upon Tyne, 19th February, 2008

Good film reminded me a bit of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but maybe a bit softer. Worth the watch as some bits are really funny, great story line.

Total nonsense

Martin77 from , 15th October, 2009


I can't think of one redeeming thing to say about this total waste of 90 mins. Bad acting , bad screenplay , bad director....apart from all that its great. Not one single part of it is believable and if anybody really knows what's supposed to be going on can they let me know ?

The Short Bad Saturday

wikkidsmyle from , 24th September, 2008

Totally cheap and very nasty British gangster film in the vein of 'Get Carter', 'Lock, Stock...' and 'The Long Good Friday' but without the sassiness or black humour. Adrian Dunbar is Max, the chief villain, but doesn't have the gravitas to carry the film, let alone his character and Louis Dempsey as Gilly, the anti-hero is just a damp squib. Only Andrew Howard as J, the perpetually drugged up sidekick and the amazing Jamie Sweeney as Skip, a boy with adult attitude, come out of the mess smelling of something like roses (and earn the single star). The action scenes are limp and the 'twist' is so obviously signposted from the start that it's unintentionally comical when it's revealled. If you want totally depressing, gritty realism, 'Get Carter' (the original version!) is still the one to beat.
