[Richie]

It was brilliant, 2 player as well! I remember I used to crap myself during the mission when you get chased by the baseball furies, that were scary as hell.

[Empired]

My last mock exam is this afternoon so i'll probably try and watch tonight at 8 woo

[karter]

who the **** voted this one? eugh i don't wanna watch, seems so boring zZzZzZzZzZZzZz

[scottish]

lol, they're running faster than the bus can drive. right

- - - Updated - - -

there's a fire in a station, so they stop at the station n let everyone off and won't continue????????

[Jurv]

i voted this one!! always wanted to watch it after loving the game so hopefully it's just as good :dance:

[scottish]

it's not.

[thms]

it's not.

pmsl you will hate every suggestion other than your own!

[David]

it was better than the pianist for me, but not as good as i was led to believe. thought it'd have a better finish than that.
3/5.

[scottish]

pmsl you will hate every suggestion other than your own!

no i won't it's just genuinely rubbish ;ll

it's better than the pianist hands down but it's still 3/5

[Red]

I expected to hate it but I really enjoyed it and would happily watch it again. It's like stupid but brilliant at the same time. I enjoyed the retro feel, the various gang clothes, and the comic strips between the scenes. My faves were vermin and rembrandt. Kinda alarming the sexism in it though!! Talking about gang raping mercy and the scene where ajax is about to rape the policewoman on the park bench and the others only objection was that they had other priorities atm. I liked the scene on the subway and the contrast between mercy and swan and the prom couples. The ending was a bit anti-climatic though but deffo worth a watch!!

[buttons]

i'll watch this tomorrow night!

[scottish]

2 days left and by looks of it only 4 people watched it? ;l

[The Don]

Watched it last night, just as good as I remember it!

Get watching people! Next film will be posted tomorrow evening.

[buttons]

i liked it! i like how everyone was so normal looking, obviously with it being the 70's, rather than the 'perfectness' you get on movies now. other than mercy ofc who was flawless
but omg ajax is JAMES REMAR. harry morgan in dexter hahahah. i fancied him ngl
i was so happy to see some girls get punched, can u imagine the uproar if u did that today

anyway thought it was good karter; thms; get on it

woooo, glad you liked it! mercy is great, love everything about this film tbh

one of my favourite scences (the bit where david patrick kelly is banging the glass bottles together and saying warriors come out to play) wasn't actually in the script, he improv'd

[buttons]

lol yeah he was so annoying to begin with but hilarious at the end

[thms]

ok actually watching now lmao

[scottish]

You have until midnight whoever else hasn't watched it.

Pretty disappointing the figures actually participating after all the interest shown at start :P

I actually quite enjoyed it! I didn't think I was going to because I'm not really into gang violence films but this was alright :')

[thms]

finished!!! really enjoyedit tbh surprised again even though some of the action parts bored me

buttons; you can have ajax and i'll have swan

[dbgtz]

Ok film I suppose but not much to it when you boil it down, just a bunch of cheesy action scenes, but this is also probably what made it enjoyable.

[scottish]

Are you leaving this one open until midnight or did you forget to close it? :P

[The Don]

Are you leaving this one open until midnight or did you forget to close it? :P
