Review of Ill Manors (2012) by Mark D — 10 Jun 2012
A dark, gritty English drama following the not so pleasant lives of a range of people living close to the Olympic stadium in London. Ranging from gangs, bullying, drug addicts, gun crime, murder, prostitution and sex trafficking! It reminded a bit of Kidulthood/Adulthood but is harder hitting.
Also similar in parts to a recent TV drama Top boy. Still the mainly rather young and unknown cast give good performances about the sorry state of some lives in the capital. Occasionally broken up by brief light hearted moments and music/lyrics from the director Plan B.
