Enjoyed this movie, very edgy with good performances. Although you can tell this film is micro budget and it's certainly no "Goodfellas" what it lacks in special effects it certainly makes up for in fine acting and good characterisation. Set in Birmingham, the story is about an ex-con, Vic, who is trying to go straight but gets caught up in gangland warfare between "Mad" Mickey Harrington on one side and established gangster, Ronnie McGann. Will Vic choose the right side? The actor playing Harrington did a good job; always keeping the audience guessing where his next move was. A bit of comedy in certain scenes was refreshing to see, it was a nice release from all the heightened tension throughout most of the film.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
