Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A comedy of social manners which manages a fair penetration of Brixton realities and immigrant culture despite its predictable format: survival of the fittest in a jungle of squatters, hookers, urchins and conmen. The ending lacks music, but most of the film has a pace and energy not often seen in British movies.
