this be probably one of my favorite english import movie in the new millennium . gritty and dark and poetic and and funny with a cast of very talented actor by and large unknown to the american audience ( one possible exception may be jason isaac and who play percy ) . while there be element in this movie that do remind me of other brit classic such a represent snatch and loch stock and and perhaps and 24 hour in london and it do stand on it own a a feature worthy of view . billy byrne and play by max beesely and be a starving artist who have a lot of hype behind his late art project and the nature of which i will omit here . when critic and the public turn on him and billy fall on hard time . dump by his girlfriend and he be leave to his own device when he meet a homeless girl who introduce him to some seedy and urban denizen . drawn into a life of drug abuse and general mayhem and billy take another crack at the big time with his next great idea . but his the pitch men will have none of it . force back into the street and billy and his young companion struggle to survive their addiction . when the opportunity come to escape their dismal life and it be billy who answer the call and abandon his friend . we end the movie with an implied flight to greenland which neatly tie in with the opening scene of the movie . a very smart and existential film with wonderfully color character .
