Saxon

London, the present. Soon after leaving prison, Eddie has his eye cut out by a loan shark chasing an old debt. Eddie's other eye will only be spared upon repayment. Desperate for cash, Eddie phones Linda, a childhood sweetheart. She lives in Saxon - a ghost-town of grim flats run by a corrupt council. Linda is very wealthy. Her husband Kevin won a million pounds on a TV quiz show. But Kevin has gone missing, feared dead. Eddie offers his services as an amateur sleuth, and so embarks on a comically gruesome journey through the surreal underworld of Saxon: the place where he grew up, the place where his mother works as a prostitute, the place where he murdered a bailiff.

  Dull, rambling, unconvincing - dire
  
  One of the worst films I've seen for a long time. I normally love British gangster movies, the grittier the better, but this was dire. I should have taken ... read more »

  how to judge
  
  Whilst this isn't a classic it has imho been rather harshly treated in other reviews. The problem, I think, is that people expect to be a main feature ... read more »

  Worst film of the year
  
  The most implausable, non-sensical film of the year. It could have been a great depiction of life on these dreadful housing estates and how the poor wretches ... read more »
