Ill Manors

While rather sporadic and contrived at times, the gritty realism of life in urban cities is thought-provoking packaged into a surprisingly complex, yet at times confusing story. A very odd but effective way of narration too.

Never succeeds in any form of continuity and seems to think it has a much bigger message than it ever delivers.

Bleak

Some good little vignettes amongst it but it's a disjointed, heavy-handed story. Much better than anticipated.

Powerful, moving and disturbing portrayal of urban life.

Meh.

Surprisingly complex urban crime drama, with cleverly inter-linked stories, and strong hip-hop narration. Generally strong performances, too, many first- and second-timers
