Michael (Peter Ferdinando) is a ruthless undercover coptargeting London's most violent drug traffickers. He and his team aren't above taking their cut from the criminals they're charged with investigating - but when he's threatened with exposure, he's forced to rapidly shift his loyalties and sell out his allies in order to stay alive. Gerard Johnson's ultraviolent thriller - part Nicolas Winding Refn, part Abel Ferrara,and featuring a propulsive score by British new wave legends The The - is abrutal, neon-colored portrait of a man far beyond salvation.

A pretty gritty, raw and unpleasant crime drama full of drugs, prostitutes and Albanian gorillas you do not want to have anything to do with. This film is not exactly my cup of tea and at two hours running time I got bored a few times, but once it came to slicing the bread there was plenty to watch. Brutal as fuck in places for which thumbs up for the filmmakers' courage. 65%.
