    It was good. I might watch it again if it was on tv, but no rent it. Its something good to watch one day.

    Jason Flemyng playing a shotgun toting gangster = good cinema. Flemyng playing an AIDS-infected dancer? Not so much.

    Much like every other British gay film I've ever seen, nothing new here.
