Bought this based upon the reviews on here and have to say I wasnt disapointed.
The film is very film noir, and is quite dark in places. Mike Reid is excellent as a gangster and the plot does twist and turn a lot. The lad playing the lead is different to the typical macho type lead male and looks quite out of shape in places - which was re-assuring to me as a middle aged bloke.
I did find myself shouting at the film in a few places. Like when he has no memory and yet doesnt seem overly concerned at asking the bird to tell him all she knows about him. And when he`s wandering about near a river covered in blood - surely you`d want to clean up asap to avoid looking so suspecious!
Still, all in all, for the price, excellent film, and id recommend it. Im now looking forward to watching the follow up film.

Loved the comic and now love the film - sad to see it was Mike Reid's last movie, but it was a good one to finish on - especially liked the cameo from Cantona!

If Guy Ritchie's style is Damon Runyon set in London then "Jack Says" is film noir set in London and Paris. Drifting through amnesia and confusion like Philip Marlowe sapped by Moose Molloy he encounters a nightmarish cast of characters including an excellent turn from Rula Lenska before ending with a curiously naïve conclusion. The story-line is pretty fragile and I did not think it held completely, but if it was not quite "Memento" it gave it a good shot with some excellent red-herrings. This is a B movie but an A side version.

I feel obliged to record my disbelief that such a weak film could find its way onto the market. Unredeemably badly acted by more or less the entire cast who looked - with good... Read more

I auditioned for the prequel to this film, which has danny dyer in it, but didn't get a part - but watched this and no regret the whole thing even more! Read more

Well I liked it... but then I would
Whilst recognising my own short comings on this, I think's it's a wonderful effort by all involved and I thank you all for your part in helping me get this done.

Good effort
Wasn't the best film in the world, but well worth a watch - nice effort for first timers I think!

Says it all, Bang!
Very punchy new movie that ticks a lot of boxes for the guys, not a chick flick in any sense! Considering the budget this apparently had, it's a damn cool piece. Read more

Well crafted fast paced thriller - violent and sexy.
Jack's lost it - his memory, his girl, his sense of humour and finally his cool. Jack is not a nice person. Read more

Not Bad at all!
This is a low budget film - but it's got a lot of punch pcked into it - well done to the guys that put it together!

Cool Stuff!
I didn't expect to like this as it's not really my sort of thing but the film was very slick and cool!

Mike Reid reaches the toop of his game- 'BANG!!'
Great example of British independent cinema at its best. The production alone is worth buying this DVD for!! The locations and scenes are fantastic for the budget that was used. Read more

All good!
Pre-ordered this after seeing it at London Independent Film Festival - it's wicked and it's going to do well. Well done the filmmakers whom i also meet!
