It's just as well that Prince Harry has a few quid lying around because if Meghan Markle is looking to support herself as an actress, they'll be eating kebabs and chips from the local chippy rather than dining at The Ivy. To say she's shit here would be an understatement, and she's not even the focal point of the film, that falls on a Banksy wannabe who's also pretty awful. Gangs, graffiti, armed robberies, and some truly awful dialogue make this a shit-show of the highest order. Every character is a broad stroke of stereotypes from every gangland film ever filmed in London, thrown together with no real direction. Director Reg Traviss' name rang a bell, but I didn't know…

Pretty weak London gangsta shit. Just about everything about this film was outrageously unrealistic. Also frustrating because so much of the dialogue is cringe worthy. Especially the graffiti talks. What is this, the corporate 90s?! Talking deep hipster shit about the political message graffiti art has, it's capitalistic value and how it's not selling out. That felt embarrassingly dated. In a way all the stupid stuff made it a trainwreck to watch. The "quality" of it all was certainly not the reason to keep awake.

If the geezer-heist sub genre is a lock-stock-and-cock-of-the-Lambeth-walk-landscape, then Anti-Social is the Canary Wharf of this urban panorama. It’s the Avocado. It’s the Shard; a shining example of the genre, towering above all else, and casting a pretty big shadow over lesser entries in the canon.

It tries so hard to be relevant and up to date, the moment people talk, it feels outdated by about 25 years. It’s like Menace II Society but with bikers and no code of honor. At least with the Hughes Bros film it felt genuine and of it’s time, here, I don’t know, a mix between cool gang violence and cheap punk rock that doesn’t show the blue collar life they’re living in, it’s cheap gangsters, which is fine, with big money cars, guns and motorbikes which is a head scratcher. Where do they get their plan to steal big time jewelry stores, etc...
on the other hand it tries to pit the Art world against the robbery background. The street… -
Run of the mill British crime thriller, I've seen much better and I've seen much much worse. Killed a couple of hours for early morning viewing. 2/5

Gregg Sulkin is an incredible actor, this role is unlike anything he has ever done. He has proved before that he can do very well in dramatic roles, it is a pity that people still see him as an actor of teen comedies. I just hope people start to appreciate his giant talent, his potential is immense. I'm very proud to be a fan of such an actor.
oh, and the final sequence almost killed me with anxiety

I have seen this plot before - done more convincingly though by some British character actors who are indistinguishable from the real thing.

It’s an embarrassing incursion into the Londoner underworld crime and the art world in general.
