Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

John Like other reviewers, I really wanted to like this film.. and, billed as the British "Bound" - or as in the same vein as, I gave it a try... I'm sorry, really, but this poor effort comes nowhere remotely near such a high-class and polished production as Bound..! Poor Alan Ford struggles bravely with a stodgy, pedestrian and often fatuous script, dire direction, laughable lighting and sound sets and some seriously wooden performances from his fellow actors... To be honest, this is something born out of a drunken, adolescent 1st year art/film school project... It is painful to watch, not merely because of the highly stereotyped characters and the lazy dialogue, but also because of some of the worst Dogma 95 post production (attempts) I have ever seen, the terrible low-budget cinematography (the POV camera shots are seriously amateurish) and the seriously lack-lustre direction. This feeble dog's dinner should be avoided at all costs... Sorry, but it is not often I say this: a complete waste of time and effort.

drklabs So.... Boring what to say about... don't spend your time on films like this better watch a cartoon its more entertaining i really couldn't got the point of the director some gangsters was looking for something some lesbo girls was kissing and was beaten up by the gangsters thats all the things i got from this film also the acting was terrible hmmm i don't really understand why people keep making films like this if you look at the newspapers you will find more interesting plots than this one Whats your problem IMDb why i must write 10 lines for while the plot of whole movies such like this wasn't more than 10 lines i don't understand this.B O R I N G...

tariadawson I have been lucky in getting a preview of this film starring Alan Ford. I had an idea of what to expect considering the aforementioned actor and I was not disappointed. I love everything about raw gritty British gangster films - but for those of you who are getting a bit bored of Guy Ritchie's endless take on the genre then check out this fresh breath of air. There is a very real and dark atmosphere to this film where you feel like you are involved in the storyline and you can feel the tension that the characters are enduring. The thrill of not knowing where the plot is going to go next is something I have not felt for a long time. I also enjoyed how the two lesbian characters were portrayed. Again, there was a high degree of realism in the way the characters interacted with each other that I think a lot of people will respect as so often a lot of filmmakers get it so so wrong! Well worth a watch!

sound_chaser_2001 I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw Tim Biddiscombe's film, Night Dragon, is getting a commercial release this summer. I have been one of the lucky few to have seen it so far. A friend of mine had been invited to the premier of Night Dragon in the directors home town. Knowing that I was a big fan of Alan Ford, through his roles in Snatch, and Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, that friend invited me. I was told the film was an all British affair and had indeed been privately financed. Although this was no glitzy West End premier showing, it was an exciting event, particularly as I wasn't sat too far from Mr. Ford.I wasn't expecting to enjoy the film as much as I did, but I found Night Dragon a very pacey, well written thriller, with an excellent twist at the end. I thought the story was excellent, as indeed was the acting and the filming as a whole. I was gripped throughout and the time just flew by. At the films conclusion, there was a standing ovation from the packed audience and it really felt as if I was part of something special. Tim Biddiscombe gave a short speech and I don't think he could have been any prouder if you had just given him an Oscar.Afterwards, there was a post-film party, which I managed to blag my way into. At some point (after a few beers), I managed to collar Tim and congratulate him on the film and to wish him luck with its release. Tim was happy to stand & chat and I was really impressed to hear some of his stories of the demanding conditions in which Night Dragon was made: I would love to have been there when the police closed off a London street in order that a scene involving a speeding car and stunt crew could be filmed. Apparently, about 100 local people came out of their homes to watch and some even invited various crew members into their homes for cups of tea and applications of make-up to the actors.I give Night Dragon 10/10, because, without corporate financial backing, it is an incredible achievement to have brought to fruition and I firmly believe this kind of hard work and talent deserves rewarding. I even got to meet Alan Ford and have my photo taken with him. Impressed? Yes, I was!
