Who Needs Enemies (2013)


"Fackin' hell!"
 Yep, it's a Cockney gangster flick but have no fear, this ones quite decent.

A series of intertwining vignettes and multiple flashbacks weave the story of betrayal, revenge and a dark sordid secret involving two old friends, think part 'Pulp Fiction' narrative, with Guy Ritchie black comedy and 'Lock Stock' gangsters, wide boys and low lives. The star of the show is undoubtedly Kris Johnson as psychopath Chris, one of the scariest movie characters put on the screen for some time, and the type of low life you know exists in 21st Century Britain.

Bloody, brutal, and recommended.
