Review: This is another one of those cheap, "straight to DVD" movies from Vinnie Jones, which will be quickly forgotten. He plays a happily married, family man who witnesses a murder, which is committed by a bunch of gangsters, in the middle of nowhere. The gangsters then set out to make sure there wasn't any witnesses to the crime, and they brutally murder Ray Brookes (Vinnie Jones), family, right in front of him. The leader of the gang, Kane Keegan (Sean Cronin), thinks that he has killed Ray but he manages to survive, and he sets out to get revenge. That is the basic gist of the storyline! Vinnie Jones is playing his usual "tough nut" type of role, with a cockney accent, and the rest of the cast, put in pretty poor performances. I can totally understand why Vinnie Jones went on a killing spree but what shocked me was that the gangsters that he was killing, didn't seem to care that he survived and had a gun pointed to there heads. Anyway, I personally didn't think that it was that great and it just goes down as another badly made movie, by Vinnie Jones. Maybe he should go back to playing football! Disappointing!Round-Up: It's obvious that Vinnie Jones, 51, only stars in these terrible movies to pay bills, because he honestly can't think that these low budget movies are going to do his career any good. His first taste of stardom in big movies like X-Men: The Last Stand, Swordfish, Snatch, Lock Stock, Gone in 60 Seconds etc, really does seem long ago now, and his acting skills haven't really progressed since he became an household name, after his great performance in Lock Stock in 1998. Anyway, it might do him some good if he changes his agent because these movies are going from bad to worse. This is the first major release from Adam Stephen Kelly, who also wrote this movie, which doesn't say a lot about his script writing skills. For his first major project, it's passable but the sketchy script really wasn't that great.I recommend this movie to people who are into their crime/thrillers starring Vinnie Jones, Nicole Faraday, Sebastian Street, Sean Cronin and Dan Richardson. 2/10

Let's not forget, this is a feature film with some top actors shot on nearly zero budget in 9 days. Given all this I think the film deserves some credit and respectThe script could have been better but there was good suspense and the performances, especially from Sean Cronin as the tittle role "Kane" was very strong and sharp. And Vinnie Jones plays a good guy in this one - surprised by that one!Hats of to them, these guys are troopers - they did a great job for passion not the money, something that needs to be valued.Looking forward to seeing more films from these people!

I actually like Vinnie. He has done a couple of really good acting jobs. His Brit flicks and I enjoyed him in Midnight Meat Train. Fair enough he never spoke but he was good. He is not as bad as people make out but sadly just gets trash like this nowadays to show what he can do.A film so bad nobody could even be bothered to write a fake review.I seem to recall this was done once before and rather well at that. Sadly Vinnie is no Bronson and sadly this has no script either.Daft as I may sound I think Vinnie could do well if given a decent role in a film that had a decent story and some decent actors in it.He will never trouble Broadway but deserves better than the garbage he is given.One day he might well surprise everybody. Sadly this is not his breakthrough role.So bad we may have to invent a whole new language to articulate our thoughts about such rubbish.

In a derivative story of suburban violence| family man Ray Brookes(AKA The voice of Mr. Ben) seeks revenge when his wife and children are murdered by infamous gangsters (Brian Kant and Floella Benjamin). Unable to place his order for chips with curry sauce he is left with no faith in the justice system and with nothing left to lose except 74 minutes of low quality 'entertainment' he turns vigilante, crazy ape bonkers, bat-sh*t but not the other cheek and stalks the streets like some kind of cockney leopard on the hunt for those who robbed him of a future as a football pundit. Watch this movie or have your colon cleansed, the choice is yours.
