    Shifty

    This is a really great film that is gripping and whilst urban is so much more interesting than a lot of the recent urban films. Great story, great acting and great editing.

    this is the best brit flick i've seen for some time. it didnt try too hard and everything was just very natural. i was a little worried they'd go over the top as seems to be the norm now, but thankfully that didnt happen and it was better for it.
