Having read a lot of the comments on this film posted here I think it best if I keep it simple. This film rates highly with me because of the casting, the film quality, the locations and the real menace it brought out. Rik Mayall was brilliant first time out and his performance stand's up when viewed over and over. However Saeed Jaffrey's performance was stunning, just watch the scene in his flat when the boys come round to terrorise him. Then watch as the camera almost never leaves him. His whole demeanour changes to one of shock then horror then fear as he knows the boys will not be denied. I loved the movie and the dvd is well worth it, one of the best British releases of the year. 5 star's, but scrimpy on the extra's.
