Again another Danny Dyer film that is fantastic. After watching The Business, The Football Factory, Severance and Goodbye Charlie Bright, I was expecting this to be more of the same, Dyer playing an East End gangster, and been brilliant at it. I was very suprised watching this film. Dyer portrays a gay sailor and the storyline revolves around romance and passion.
It is not his usual however if your a fan of Danny Dyer in his gangster films, give this a go. You may be pleasently suprised. I was!

What can I say, I nearly cried towards the end! JESUS!! If you are into watching an untold/forbidden love type thing, with realism, war, good n bad etc then buy it!
I got this mainly because I am a fan of danny dyer, and gay, and in this he plays a gay guy thrown into borstal out of the navy for thieving, and he meets a lovely guy in there!!
WATCH IT!! QUALITY VIEWING!! Not vile in any way shape or form!

A very strong rites-of-passage film. Danny Dyer puts in a great performance in what is not an easy role. There are also some quite disturbing scenes that are very well acted and written. Give it a watch.

Nice surprise
I thought this was a gang movie, as suggested by the title, and I was expecting a lot of violence. Not at all, it is a mild movie with a shade of gay affection, pleasant to watch. Read more
