Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
chrichtonsworld 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!
dcoy-2 I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I enjoyed the use of slang and the fact that it illustrates the adage "no honor among thieves." The film flowed really well and is up there among the top gangster films ever produced. Without spoiling the film, it reflects life in the fact that drugs dealers and the love of money are without colour or prejudice. Unfortunately, justice is not the same way. That being said, it's a must see. This film introduces some of the talents Britain has to offer. The most part, the acting was well done. I would've liked to have seen a bit more diversity in cultures, so the movie would've been a bit less stereotypical, but we don't get everything we want. It was still a fine film. I hope it gets released in the states soon. Ya done know!!! hee hee
Marlon Rollin With Nines is a modern action packed film of the street from the street. It' s a breathless roller-coaster ride of a cinematic experience. It takes the viewer into the streets of London and shows them like you've never seen them before, because it's real. It's Lock Stock without the jokes, it's NARC with a wicked, thumping and relentless soundtrack by the likes of Dizee Rascal, Simon Webbe, Miss Dynamite and anyone who is anyone in the street music scene. The photography is stylish, inventive and aptly hectic. It is without a doubt a piece of ground breaking British cinema. The creators of the story Pikki (also music producer) and Bigs had a huge influence and input on the dialogue, which helped anchor the film firmly into its roots. The films strength is dealing with the issues without sentimentality or moralising. It is a story of revenge and the inability of the main protagonists to escape the only life they know which ultimately reaps their demise. Good performances all round but specially Robbie Gee, Vas Blackwood, Anthony Warren and strong cameo from Jason Flyming.
davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits Too Fine (Simon Webbe of boy band Blue) and his friends Finny (Vas Blackwood), Pushy (Robbie Gee) and Rage (Roffem Morgan) have formed an underground garage group called Too Fine and are hoping to make it into the big leagues. But it all goes tragically wrong when he is murdered by a rival gang leader over an unpayed street debt from his time selling rock on the streets. To make matters worse, with him gone, the weight of that burden falls on the shoulders of his sister Hope (Naomi Taylor) who is then beaten up and raped by his killer, with a promise of worse things to come if the debt is not settled soon. However, realizing there is no realistic way to settle the debt in time and to seek revenge for her brother's murder and her rape, she visits the man early one morning and blasts him to death. The dust seems to settle a little after this, until she learns that one of the man's top suppliers, gangster David Brumby (Billy Murray) has now lost a valuable source of income. Suggesting they work together instead of against each other, they split the difference and Hope and her brother's friends hit the streets again to sell the poison that got them by in the first place. However after an horrific nightclub shooting at the hands of Pushy and Rage in retaliation for Too Fine's murder, two persistent detectives start getting on their backs and it's only a matter of time before everything threatens to come crashing down around them.This small, independent British gangster film has won acclaim at numerous Film Festivals and such, but has had an extremely limited distribution on it's release over here. But like other film's of it's sort, despite it's faults, it's destined to be one of those little seen gems that always gets this sort of distribution.It's a film with a great sense of style, slickly shot and cleverly edited, as well as what is surely a very real depiction of the lives of those it is based around. It also delivers the goods in terms of being hard-hitting and powerful when it needs to be, with some strong, blood-thirsty violence with a lot of loud bangs present in some scenes. However it is the performances that are really noteworthy. Taylor has a certain sexiness to her in her role, a sort of strong black woman type which has appeal. Murray as Brumby is okay, but as soon as I saw him, I couldn't help but think of him as Johnny Allan from East Enders and hearing him use words like 'f*ck' and 'c*nt' really felt funny, especially as he says them in front of a lady, when you think of what a gentleman he's supposed to be in real life. Blackwood, Gee, Morgan and Webbe (making his film debut in what is a very small role) just sort of do what the script requires and fade into the background a little, but Terry Stone as one of the detectives has a good main role.As I said, it has it's faults. It's not the most original sort of film we've been seeing at the moment, it's a bit excessive at times and it feels a little overlong. But if anywhere near you's showing it, it's a little released urban gem that's worth seeking out and seeing. ****
