“Would you believe that Hollywood has been trying to do a film like this for years … and never succeeded? You look at nonsense like Stalloneu0026#39;s boring and repetitive Expendable series and dramas-turned-comedies like the OVER THE HILL GANG and you realize that Hollywood lacks whatever gene is required to make a film where the older players pull the rug out from the younger ones.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause, at its core, Hollywood reflects a culture of youth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThank God for UK filmmakers. A little tradition. A little respect for the old ways.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd presto, easily the best generational conflict film in recent memory.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSet against a story about a modern gang of street punks that unintentionally takes on a gang that used to run their neighbourhood when they were still a gleam in daddyu0026#39;s eye.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy itself, this is an excellent film, with great dialogue, real characters, no false moments.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are over 55, however, it is a positive treat.”
