The Bike Thief (2020)
A film truly showing life on the Edge in modern Britain
A film very much in the vein of Ken Loach. Beautifully shot although somewhat indulgent on it's imagery, the film really delves into the lives of living on edge in modern Britain. The film could've reduced some of it's long takes and run time with the end product still being as good however.
Knuckledust (2020)
All Style, No Substance
A visually impressive but shallow film.
The Lighting and fighting is impressive but unfortunately, doesn't contain enough fighting or action as the intriguing synopsis suggests.
Amongst a handful of issues, the film can't decide it if it wants to be a serious drama with action or a quirky comedy with action.
The film's ensemble story doesn't come together in the Guy Ritchie way it so desperately wants to emulate. Whatever it offers you have seen before and done better in other films -
- Corridor fight scene ala Oldboy
- Neon Character Titles ala Suicide Squad
- Nicknamed Characters ala Snatch.
