Shank (2010)

Anyone seen this yet?

I went see the advanced screenin thing last night. Basicaly set in London in 2015 which for some reason is like a Third World country and everyone trying to get food to buy and sell as there is no longer much left (food to eat, not in refering to drugs). Long story short, one gang gets into a fight with another. Kind of like Kidulthood but less of a "teen story" thing. I think it was made by same people, it had a lot of the same actors.

It was ok, but some of the acting was pretty shit. Stupid overuse of graphics too. If you on Orange Wednesday its worth going, but not for a full price ticket.

When Tempa T performing Next Hype live came in the film though, everyone in the cinema was going nuts, which was alot. I think that was best bit.

Found the advert:

Looks shitter in the advert than it really is, in my opinion.

I'm just going for Bashy.

[bailey_187]

He surpisingly does alright at acting in this.

He's the new Asher D...

Hopefully not.

[Across The Street]

never heard of anybody involved though

Bashy is a grime mc.
Adam Deacon was in Kidulthood/Adulthood, most things Noel Clarke touches.
Think some girl from Skins is in it too.

Looks worse than Kidulthood and Adulthood, films based more on white middle class prejudices and fears than the reality of life in urban Britain.

except shank aint meant to be about reality. its set in 2015 and everyone is fighting over (real) food. i dont think the white middle class is that deluded.

i dont know who made the films so maybe they are prejudiced middle class people, but Bashy is real

kidulthood was shit though, i agree.
