Some of my friends sometimes say, "have you ever seen such a film, it is really bad?" I tell them to go away and watch this film, then come back and tell me just how bad their film was again. So far 100% have come back to tell me that compared to this "film", their film was actually brilliant!

Full English Breakfast? More like a dogs dinner. Writing,acting,directing,editing as all sub standard. The dialogue at times is incredibly inane "France is so far away". Says one character who later takes the Eurostar to Paris. One of the actors does not say anything but he does bite his bottom lip to let us know he is thinking.The sound is often completely out of sink with the action. The padlock on the lock up could probably be cut with a pair of blunt scissors.The fake reviews on here are more literate than the script but as laughable as the film.Dave hits people with a golf club while playing the Four Seasons.No doubt celebrating his kill with some Lambrusco.The look of the film is like a school project and at no time does anything resembling a professional standard of film making occur. I watched this "film" and I use the term loosely as I was amazed that something so poor found its way onto Netflix.Avoid at all costs.Unless of course you want to buy a family pack of crisps and have a right East end knees up watching this trash.

The camera work is pretty good, high quality in fact. The film looks very professionally shot, don't listen to people who say otherwise.Dave himself is on great form - Honestly he's worth the ticket price alone as aging but still formidable, charismatic psycho with a fondness for nine irons and hot, trophy wives.Nigel St Lewis who has no lines yet manages to absolutely terrify as mute, smiling psycho, particularly in the (probably best scene of the movie) set to 80's classic Je Taime... moi non plus. It draws parallels with Layer cakes ordinary world scene but blows that out of the water. You'll never listen to Serge Gainsbourg the same way again.Bad points - Many times the film felt very contrived. Bad writing both in terms of plot structure and dialogue. Some of the actors honestly were just reading the lines. At times it was bad it was jarring, to the point you just can't suspend your disbelief.There's a lot of things wrong with FEB - But you don't buy a fiesta and expect a Ferrari. It never pretends to be Oscar bait and damn it it is (sometimes unintentionally) fun. All I'm saying is that if you locked Dave and Nigel in a room with a decent Director, a good script and a budget then you'd really have a movie!

I don't post film reviews normally but I felt I needed to come on here and give this plucky little fighter a leg up because it seems to get smeared and trolled by people that just don't get it.This is a wonderfully written story of love, revenge, and loyalty. It doesn't have a Hollywood budget or famous cast - save for the one and only Mr Dave Courtney OBE, a British institution and one of the most well recognised faces in modern underground British crime cinema - but it has talented direction, compelling performances, rocking great soundtrack and a lot of heart.I'm not going to go into detail about the plot and characters - they are yours to discover. But be sure that there's something in this little gem of a film for everyone: romance, violence, dramatic and engaging story (with lots of suspension and dread) and the most incredible twists.If you like crime flicks and you're a film connoisseur, not another mindless sheep like a lot of the juveniles trolling this page then you are not going to be disappointed with this superb little work of art.
