Based in MANCHESTER not London: they are 2 totally different cities and cant be confused with each other. Revolves around the huge gang problems found in Manchester in a mock Lock, Stock.. style and also trying to emulate the panache of a Tarantino. The film fails at both though!It is worth a watch for an alterantive British movie although the mediocre cast could never have made the film great - especially equipped with one of the poorest scripts I've ever seen. Bizarre fact is that the films countryside shots were filmed on the Isle Of Man in the Irish Sea - even though Machester is surrounded by huge amounts of land identical to that found on the Isle Of Man!
