Review of Shifty (2008) by Shash H — 01 Sep 2009
Awesome character studies. Riz Ahmed is sooo good in this film and is supported by some amazing performances. The film is clever and engaging and quite basic too.
This is film is not big on high budget production but for some reason seems very polished when compared to a film like Lock Stock. This is all due to the amzing acting values.
The pot is engaging and is clever in its use of Chris as an outsider looking in to a world he left. This really gives the audience a pair of eyes into the character of Shifty from a direct view. You can tell Shifty is an inteligent guy but seems clouded by his greed for success in a drug world.
A great film with a extreme focus on the characters compared to the world they live in.
