Amazon.co.uk Review
Pretty boy Billy (Jude Law) is an amoral rebel without a cause. His anarchic response to a bleak London existence is to steal cars and drive them through shop windows: "crash and carry," as one fellow "shopper" terms it. But he and his tough, video-game obsessed gal-pal Jo (Sadie Frost) are no Bonnie and Clyde. Their shopping trips are merely a pretext for the adrenaline rush of destruction and the thrill of playing high-speed tag with the cops, a game that starts to wear thin on Jo. "Why don't you grow up, eh?" she finally asks. "And do what?" he helplessly replies.

The feature debut of Brit stylist Paul Anderson (Event Horizon) is a sleek film of misty alleys, blue-lit underground garages, and slick city streets. It's a dystopian London of the near future through the lens of Blade Runner driven almost single-handedly by Law's reckless charm and wild energy. It's hard to tell if the film is about the nihilism of sensation-hunting lost youth or simply a sensational melodrama of aimless rebellion, but there's nonetheless something irresponsibly appealing in Billy's anti-establishment rampage. --Sean Axmaker

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FILM - VERY LITTLE OF SEAN !!!!, 22 April 2003
By Gennamay (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shopping [VHS] [1993] (VHS Tape)
I bought Shopping as I am a BIG Sean Bean fan, I was very disappointed to find that I had to wait until about 45minutes into the film to see him and his appearance was no more than very short and sweet!. However, the film itself is action packed and quite exciting and I did enjoy every minute of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius, 15 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Shopping [VHS] [1993] (VHS Tape)
From the dramatic opening to the tragic finale, you realise that you are watching a film that might just change your life. The excellent narrative and the fast paced story line combine to make a truly memorable British film production. The Brit-pack actors (Jude Law, Sean Pertwee, and Sadie Frost) manage to handle the material with deft skill and acting genius. If ever a performance deserved an Oscar it would be Frosts. Her Irish accent is so realistic, you might be mistaken for thinking that she was born and bred in County Cork. Law is sublime as the middle-class mockney ramraider who lives in a caravan on the ponderosa. The film deals with the desperation of bored youth who are struggling to escape from unemployment and job club in Britains inner cities.

All I have to say is buy this film now. This film is definitely one of my favourites and deserves to be classed in the same league as other British classics such as, Rancid Aluminium, Love Honour and Obey, and Final Cut. . Recently I have not been watching Shopping as much as I would like (mainly due to the commencement of the stunning Lock Stock series) but I am certain that like me you will keep on coming back to this film.

Get a copy now! If I were you I would borrow, beg or Ramraid for it!

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the most controversial British films of recent years, 22 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Shopping [VHS] [1993] (VHS Tape)
Angry, uncompromising and unforgettable. Ninteen year old Billy is king of the joyriders. Rejecting a society that offers him nothing, his life revolves around crime, drugs and music. Billys rival Tommy has made ram-raiding his profession and dealing stolen goods is his profession. The main flaw in this rather cliched film is the fact that the goodies are soo unlikeable, wheras the baddies are really rather likeable - and unintentionally so. However the film iis an interesting example of contemoprary British cinema, and proof that not all is lost for the industry.
