Shooters

Peter Bradshaw: It's the traditional queasy medley of pseudo-hard posturing and despite an ostentatiously wised-up, ironic voiceover, this film looks like a 14-year-old's saucer-eyed fantasy of how grown-up tough guys behave.
  
  


As for this, yet another Brit gangland film, it is just unendurably embarrassing and bad, culpably infatuated with its own dreary, incontinent violence. It's the traditional queasy medley of pseudo-hard posturing and despite an ostentatiously wised-up, ironic voiceover, this film looks like a 14-year-old's saucer-eyed fantasy of how grown-up tough guys behave. Yet it has decent actors like Adrian Dunbar and Emma Fielding who deserve a good script and a good film. This isn't it.
