I enjoyed this film a great deal. To me the best description of it is a Brixton "Western". Patrick Bergen delivers a wild , over the top psycho performance. Eric LaSalle is great - his gangster look is as sharp as a tack - kinda charmingly brutal. The look of Vinnie's character Johnny Doyle is really scary, but he is one of the softer characters in the film. However my award for the hardest man goes to Roger Daltry, who for me stole the show. The film has a great thumping reggae soundtrack and some wry humour. Samantha Mumba is still very serious eye-candy.
My negatives were that the relationship between Johnny and Rita was not given more attention and that Roger Daltry should have had more screen time!
Overall, very worth checking out
