clubbed be yet another will this do . entry into the brit fisticuffs genre and be sure to keep punter who aren not expect too much moderately entertain for ninety minute after a few beer . however and for anyone seek intelligent and quality entertainment it really best avoid . there be so many misnomer in the appalling script that even an actor of the calibre of colin salmon be leave look daft . the action be set in the 1980s and but it never clear why and especially when they haven not be able to pull off any convincing feel for that decade it take more than a few 80 soul record on the soundtrack and the occasional zoot suit and a handful of 30 year old car . then we see central character study text such a sun tzu the art of war and speak about how violence should be a last resort and while the same character seem only too willing to start doling out punch with all the testosterone fuel and unthinking abandon of a bunch of chavs fighting over a bag of chip . character development do not exist in clubbed . nor do irony and subtlety or pathos . this be a film which trade on fond memory of guy richie early gangster film and which despite their flaw certainly have much more wit and good editing and snappy dialogue and pack more emotional punch than this limp little saga . theyre a decade old now and anyway isn not it time we move on from try to emulate them .
