Product Description

Donal immerses himself right in the core of gangland Britain, but isn't interested in exposing them. Instead he delivers an honest and thought provoking look into a world that few people see and even fewer people are prepared to admit.


Synopsis

Undercover journalist Donal MacIntyre delves into the criminal underworld in Britain and looks at the lives of the country's most fearsome gangsters.

5.0 out of 5 stars agreed, 26 Nov 2008
By Luntz (Chipping Sodbury) - See all my reviews
I would agree with the first reviewer that the excellent episodes here elevate the rating to five stars, despite the inclusion of some weaker episodes. But I would also like to single out Get Conroy as a superior episode. I quite enjoyed that one. Vendetta is the best overall.

4.0 out of 5 stars Description of Product!, 2 Feb 2009
Gives an interesting insight into the netherworld of crime...
Its not that it's that action loaded but more psychological stimulating I would assume,
I would here like to go over each one of the 6 episodes featured on this DVD to give a summary:

Episode 1: is quite boring and stagnated in my view. About this traitor of his own, bragging and still bullied from his slandering, seems like he hasn't made up his mind to be satisfied or not with his new stand.

Episode 2: is following the same boring trail of the first one, killer hit men with glasses and looking like bill gates on a bad hitchhiking day or something, quite boring personalities.

Episode 3: Are way too emotional, all centred around this female and her problems about her jailed husband who seems slightly unconvincing when telling he thought the coconuts containers were loaded with cigs and not cocaine? I mean who the hell would do him a favour from abroad the globe? And sent cocaine instead? Come on. Give me a classical break here!

Episode 4: Here it starts to kick off in much better style and these 3 last episodes on the DVD, seems much more individualistically in their approach towards speculating in gangster mentality and here we follow a funny little man called Mad Dog, both honest and more interesting to follow, even though not honest all the way, it can at least be interoperated through body language and such!
Mad Dog claims to stand for street battles in Ireland and Nazism, in which I think he fallen pretty much off on... but makes a better character still in the program.

Episode 5: worth the whole DVD in itself! About a taxman who is running around clearly mentally disturbed on steroids and low IQ to some extent, collecting in money (and we are talking peanuts in my view here) so the guy is obviously psychopathic all the way through, very proud of his tall stature and steroid build, could be somewhat intimidating with his scar face to most people in general, and his little crew of losers following him, anyhow, study this persons mimic and gesticulations around the facial expressions, and you see the guy is clearly total psychopath, finally some dork lets an in look into his life and takes great pride in such! FASCINATING PEOPLE INDEED...

Episode 6: Here it seems to be a blind alley for my review? I mean what is this about? Some guy once ruling the underworld, now lost all respect, and let out on the street after many years of captivity, the guy has no friends it seems and talks about taking over again all the time, he cant get organized, a simple fact, all he can do is look at the paper at some new mafia leader which look like some computer engineer? And then this pirate of some sort? With a clap for his eye, runs around in the domestically environment as his kitchen where he makes chicken and screams for revenge in the camera? I cant really get this guy, beside his pissed over being let out for a new life with some mafia nerd now in charge of the crime stage in his local area, I think some sort of psychopathic pension should be in order here!

And what's up with this entire slew of criminal people? We can really take inheritance into the picture here, they all generate their children to become them selves in nearby future! Its like they just want the attention of the camera and often it turns out to be bad commercial of them selves!

But check it out, worth a buy!
