Embarrassing.
Before the film had even properly started i could guess what this was going to be like. I haven't seen the first film and i feel blessed by that.
This is a mess. It seems like when they had the idea for this, they had Danny Dyer in mind as this guy tries like a bear to mimic him all the way. The narration is akin to 'The Football Factory' but this guy tries even harder than Dyer to act the tough guy and i'm afraid he is in no way convincing at it. Screwing his face up and swearing viciously at his box of Cornflakes because two too many went in the bowl.
Who is arguably less convincing is the support cast. His bud in New York is attrocious and the two heavies holding his Mrs are more like a Morcambe and Wise tribute than gangsters.
Theres some truly awful moments in this, none more so than perhaps the scene where his mate is 'beaten up' by two heavies in NYC to whom he owes money. Our 'hero' who is walking away(slowly), turns to help his buddy and rummages through some bin bags at the side of the road where, lo and behold he finds a crow bar which someone has decided to put out with the rubbish...
The main villain looks as manacing as an Ice Cream seller in a Disney film, but he has stubble, so we know he's the 'bad man'.
This truly is a horrible mess of a film, which really looks like high school students made it. Laughably awful with an equally brutal soundtrack.
