Rollin' with the Nines (2006)

Nice effects though.

Best movie ever!

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This movie lacks all the proper elements that make a good gangster movie. In fact I can say that this movie is proof of the fact that violence alone doesn't make a good movie. There are too many scenes that are just too much that story wise easily could have been avoided. One scene with Naomi Taylor did give some motive of her actions following the crime she is subjected to. Only I could not shake the feeling that almost everything in the movie was illogical and unrealistic. "Rolling with the nines" is a beautifully choreographed mess. With no real main character it is very difficult to invoke sympathy for any lead. The movies goes from one event to another,from one character to another and it never gets clear who we are supposed to follow. Maybe it was me but I couldn't sense any good in any of the characters. Almost all of them did repulsive questionable things. There is one action scene that stands out and is one of the highlights of the movie. The other good thing was the very brief appearance of Billy Murray. Other than that I would suggest to ignore this movie since it is one of the worst gangster movies ever made!

Rollin with the Nines is a gritty and realistic gangster film from newcomer Julian Gilbey (a director to watch out for) who later came up with the brilliant Rise of the Foot Soldier. Forget Lock, Stock because this is truly a proper gangster. Violent, brutal and vicious. The shootout easily rival anything that Hollywood has done. With films like this, there's proof that Britain could easily be a force to be reckoned with. The film is savage and contains scenes that have never been done so graphic in england ever. The extreme language adds to the realism as it portrays the violent characters in a perfect light, even the bent copper is portrayal as a nasty bloke. If you ain't seen this one yet then i urge you to see it especially if you are like me from London and proud of it. Vas Blackwood shows a better side of the gangster character in this that is better than the gangster character in Lock, Stock. He rarely show emotion and keeps cool most of the time. Robbie gee proves that he is good at playing it straight as well and his character shows about the same emotion as his partner does. Cool and calm until the crap hits the fan then its a all out war. Rollin with the Nines is a exceptionally filmed movie and yes it does rivals American gangster flicks. After this and Rise of the Foot Soldier, i'm looking forward to what Julian is going to direct next.

I went to see the film Rollin on the Nines on Saturday and I was horrified. The film is so rubbish and I would advise anyone not to waste your money. The film is all about gangs, drugs, sex, violence and represents black people in an awful way. The characters and the story line are unrealistic. The only good part of the film is the end, how could black people show such negative representations of themselves? I don't understand how this film was able to be shown in the cinema. Also the acting is appalling. The film was so bad I had to walk out of the cinema and ask for my money back. Totally rubbish film. Please, Please don't waste your money!!

There is no doubt that this film sticks in the mind. But it is most defiantly a film that will split opinions down the middle. Violent and morally dubious this film turns the stomach.The direction is confident but the rape scene will unsettle to the point of nausea, as will the frequent violence.But there's just something else about this film. Something highly unsettling. I can't put my finger on in it but there's something that just makes you feel… dirty. And I'm no prude.Mostly the cast is good but it's all a bit lock stock for my liking.Special mention to Terry Stone who is very good, if occasionally over reliant on the dreaded C word but Vas Blackwood and Jayson Fleming just seem like they are sleep walking through there doubtless well paid roles.Technically proficient, well made and with a certain sheen that most UK films lack this film has more than it's fair share of stand out moments. But as I said it leaves you feeling... dirty.
