Deadbeat At Dawn
After the leader of one of the cities two big gangs stand down and retires from gang life to start a normal life with his girlfriend his old rival puts a hit on him now that he is out of the game. Unfortunately its his girlfriends that ends up getting killed instead. Goose on the verge of a breakdown is tempted by one last score when the two gangs unite to rob and armoured truck transporting money to the bank. But can he trust the people still involved in the life he left behind.
Gritty trashy grim and violent. This is a nasty tale of murder betrayal drug about and lowlife scum of the streets. The violence has a feeling of both realism but is over the top with the gore. Goose has the kicks of Van Damme and the Nunchuck skills of Bruce Lee.
The opening act of the film is all action but it starts to lag a big I'm the middle but its all worth the wait for the exhilarating final third of the film where it goes batshit crazy. This is a fine example of what you can do with no money and a vision and belief in what you are doing just a fantastic dirty thrill ride.
8/10
