    Written and Directed by Noel Clarke, this sequel to Kidulthood isn?t quite so fast moving as, yet it builds up nicely to a climatic ending.

    Based on revenge, the follow up film cleverly flips the coin on whose side you are rooting for and maintains the gritty, realism of the u...( read more)rban youth of Britain today.

    Incidentally for those watching this as Danny Dyer film, there may be some disappointment as his appearance is little more than a cameo role.

    Worthy followup to kidulthood which continues its themes and offers a creditable redemption for the lead.

    This brilliant sequel to 'Kidulthood' is equally shocking and more real than you might like. The same group of characters reprise their roles with some interesting outcomes. Writer Noel Clarke pulls an amazing trick in this film, by drawing us to give moral support to the thoroug...( read more)hly despicable murderer from the first film. The cast are good throughout and the brutality of the storytelling certainly leaves you thinking. I would highly recommend seeing 'Kidulthood' first to get the full effect of this brilliant sequel.

    It's now six years past since the events that took place in the movie Kidulthood and the school bully Sam is about to be released from jail for a crime he commited in the first film and now finds out how tough its gonna be just to get his life back on track and confront the peopl...( read more)e he hurt with his actions most of the people have moved on and tryed to have lives of there own but some havent forgotten what he did and payback is in store but of course Sam has changed somewhat and just wants to move on with his life and stop the violence before it happens the only question is will any of the people he hurt and are seeking revenge allow this to take place. This sequel to Kidaulthood is just as good as that movie and picks up with the same cast an story worth checking out for anyone thats seen the first movie and wants to know what happens to these characters next

    Not as good as Kidulthood but still really good. Story could of been developed a bit further though. Still worth watching though.

    Better than the first.
  • November 16, 2009
    Enjoyed mostly because it is filmed around my area. Some of the acting leaves much to be desired in places but its a worthwhile sequal to kidulthood. bring on grandadhood!

    Adulthood follows on from the teen film Kidulthood, but this time it's six years later and the characters are older, but only some a little wiser. Most of the cast are back and you see what has become of them since the death of Trife in the previous film. Not as engaging as its p...( read more)redecessor although none of the gritty violence and language has gone, the film has a good finale but I think the whole film could have been a lot more emotional like the first film.
