Review of Shifty (2008) by Kevin C — 19 Sep 2009
Gritty UK drama can be worthy and dull; or worse like Kidulthood et al totally overrated.
So this is a real pleasure. The two leads are fantastic and have a wonderful chemistry. Mays was wonderful in 'Vera Drake' and Red Riding, and is one to watch as they say.
Probably done on minute budget. It avoids macho cliche, and is funny and engaging. There are some great comic and tragic supporting characters as well. And the ending isn't what you might have been expecting.
