The word 'Gritty' just doesn't quite cover it...

It really doesn't come any more Birtish or grittier than this. And it is one of the most outwardly shocking films I have ever seen. But at the same time, it is absolutely superb.
The directing is a good example - I have always respected Gary Oldman for his fantastic acting abilities and I respect him even more after seeing this directorial outing. He has filmed it in such a bland way that the colours, brightness and contrast add so much to the already dull concrete of urban, working class London.
And the acting is just out of this world. In my humble opinion, Ray Winston matches any Oscar performance you will see.. if not beat them!
But I must underline the shocking element of this film! Approach with caution.
