Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
When this film had finished, I was still trying to work out exactly what I had seen. Was this an attempt at a Brit gangster film? Perhaps it was a comedy of sorts offering a popular culture view of the sixties. Whatever it was meant to be, it was, to say the least, cringeworthy and embarrassing to watch.
Three sisters dress up as men in order to go burgling and in so doing, they hope to get out of the social rut that is the east end of London. The problems with the film start here. The women, despite the disguises, are still obviously female and they still speak in undisguised female voices. Surely no-one would fall for this. The accents are obviously fake cockney and the facial grimmaces when trying to look hard are laughable, and this being set in the sixties, the whole film is sixties cliche overload.
This film was an attempt by the Appleton sisters and Melanie Blatt to break into films, but someone should have had a few words in their ears, and whatever Dave Stewart does, directing a gangster film is not his forte. In my opinion, this film is not recommended viewing.

Honestly its GOOD.
I have just today watched this dvd of 'Honest'
which I bought from a car boot for 50 pence.
I dont normally watch these type of films ,
but to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was surprised there where a lot of negative reviews.
Yes it is very 60s and I agree that some scenes could ,
annoy some people ,reminded me of films like 'Loot'
or 'confessions of window cleaner 'ETC! anyway it cheered ,
me up ,and the acting wasn't as bad as they make out.
I have seen far worse ,its cheap enough ,buy it .
Kind regards Barry.

I actually enjoyed this film. It is quite well made and most of the performances are good. I could get picky with quite a few bits but for me the only real hate-point is the turgid 15 minute "Awayday" scenes in the middle of the film that interupt the pace of the story.
This film is one of those curios; popstars leading a film primarily because they are popstars. However I thought the Appletons were good (forgiving the accents!), and Mel Blatt showed some real talent but was sadly under utilised.
Credit to Dave Stewart for actually getting this film made, many people talk about making films but few actually get it done, however I'm not sure we are ready for a sequel just yet.
