Featured review
"Yardie" has tons of potential but never stands out.
"Yardie" proves that Idris Elba (BBC's "Luther") can not only act, but he knows how to set a tone as a director, even if the finished product isn't as good as you'd hope.
In this crime drama set in 1970s Jamaica and 1980s Hackney, a young man who witnesses his brothers assassination embarks on a bloody quest for revenge.
Overall a forgettable crime film that is really hard to understand at some points and I felt that was frustrating. A film that we've seen before but has a ton of potential. The cast is quite good but I feel the script is what brings them down in the end. As much as "Yardie" was disappointing, I'd still love to see more of Idris Elba behind the camera.
