DVD Description
Surviving a murder attempt in Amsterdam, former police-officer Jack Adleth (Simon Phillips) heads to London to seek revenge and settle old scores, but soon finds himself in danger not just from his former criminal associates, but his old police colleagues too. As he battles to stay alive, he must also deal with the guilt from the consequences of his undercover life.
Shot in high contrast black and white with splashes of Sin City style colour, and a great British gritty edge, JACK FALLS stars Tamer Hassan (Bonded by Blood, Layer Cake), Simon Phillips (Jack Said, Jack Says), Dexter Fletcher (Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Stardust), Adam Deacon (Adulthood, Kidulthood), Jason Flemyng (Clash of the Titans, Kick Ass) and Martin Kemp (The Krays), with Olivia Hallinan (TV’s Sugar Rush) Zack Galligan (Gremlins) and Doug Bradley (the infamous Pinhead of Hellraiser)

Nice to see an original and exciting Brit movie. Great acting, good suspense. Well worth buying if you like Lock Stock n Two Smoking Barrels kind of movies with less humour but still excellent.

I admire the makers of this film for being ambitious, but ambition is no good without the talent to support it.
I personally enjoyed the black and white style with dashes of colour..it was one of the few distinctive touches the movie had.
Unfortunately the actors let the material down...i found it hard to hear what simon phillips and tamer hassan - the two PRINCIPLE actors- were saying. Alan Ford was exactly the same as he is in everything else he has done- and unintentionally hilarious as a crime boss. Doug Bradley looked embarassed- which is strange as he's actually been in much worse than this.
There is no climax or anything that resembles a dramatically satisfying resolution and pretty little action. The set piece that probably seemed impressive on paper is (spoilers beyond this point) is the scene where Jack takes on a couple of astonishingly stupid killers with an ice skate. Unfortunately the acting in this scene is so soul-crushingly bad that it makes Jack seem more Jack Douglas than Jack Bauer. His opponents are heavies only in the sense of being overweight and this makes the fight seem like a care in the community re-enactment of Jason Bourne.
On the plus side Olivia Hallinan is very good and Jason Fleming is good in his cameo. The down side is that just serves to highlight how bad everyone else is.

Really enjoyed this, nice mix of british talent with the Sin City look. Nice to see so many familiar faces from some great films and TV shows. Alan Ford is on top form and very funny with his gangsters moll. Quite a moving ending too!
