Shooters (2001)

Memorable, crazy movie

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

..... The best UK Gangster Film ever made.Let's just say the portrayals are in every case, convincing.Love to know how these lads are getting on 15 years later. My son meet a couple of them when he was up in Liverpool a few years ago and apparently the are "Sound La's"I think a couple of the fella's did other acting gigs but it seems that no one made the big time. Shame as clearly, on the whole, most of them were naturals.If you've not watched it, it's floating about on some of the Kodi add- ons.Absolutely worth a watch!!

i watched the film last night and thought it was pretty good. the ending is a bit predictable.but some of the performances are brilliant for debuts.the film is a brilliant portrayal of how I imagine Liverpool gangster life to be, you can believe it because they are real people transferring real life to screen. the camera shots of the kids in the streets on bikes are a definitive art-form, sucker punching a secret message, that these gangsters have come from nothing.the start scene sent a shiver down my spine, when you see the two gangsters ballyed up running round the side of the house to jump on the drug dealer.but the shooting scene at the cathedral, when Franny has just bit half of that mancs face off seems a little phony. the fight is great, when Franny goes phsyco it seems really sick and real, but when Sculley and someone else are running back to the car shooting it just made me laugh as it looked really fake.everyones shooting and no-one gets shot, they sound like air guns or summat.but all in all i thought it was a decent film cant understand why Franny's sat in his house being paranoid, with swords, snorting coke, watching the camera on his house, is it because he has been seen with john or maybe i missed something, could someone enlighten me?

What a great film. This is made by actual people, not actors, but people who live in Liverpool and are connected to the underworld. Its realness and rawness are evident. These aren't actors, and that realism comes across in the film and makes it unlike any other film I've ever seen, its so real. Don't get me wrong, its not a documentary but a story put together by director Dan Reed and the cast and crew of the film, its very spontaneous and a class bit of work by everyone.Its a great look at the underworld of Liverpool, and the gang element is typical in fact of any British city or town and the characters are easy to relate to. Great film.

Coming from Liverpool, it was very strange to see and hear the very people you had heard of, who were not to be crossed, acting in a film!In my opinion it is a very realistic snapshot of the seedier, more murky side of Liverpool, with gangsters and, as the film title suggests, guns.You wouldn't believe that the actors are actually real people from that seedier world... their performances considering this are superb. Brilliant film in my opinion, hoping they make another to tie up all the loose ends left from this.Quality.
