Genre:

005's acclaimed "Kidulthood" took us deep into London's unseen underbelly, delivering a raw, hard-hitting reflection of what life is like for 21st century teenagers, where sex is currency, drugs are easy to come by and violence is a way of life. Six years after Sam Peel is released from jail for killing Trife, he soon realises that life is no easier on the outside than it was on the inside and he's forced to confront the people he hurt the most. Some have moved on, others are stuck with the repercussions of his actions that night, but one thing's for certain - everyone has been forced to grow up. Through his journey Sam struggles to deal with his sorrow and guilt and something else he didn't expect - those seeking revenge. As he's pursued by a new generation of bad boys, Sam sets about trying to get the message across to his pursuers that they should stop the violence, much like Trife tried to tell him all those years ago.

    If you've seen Kidulthood, this doesn't let you down. If you haven't seen Kidulthood, you'll want to. Really good acting, powerful and honest.

    Nice use of split screen is used to speedily tell the story of the kids from Kidulthood, several years later. Its gritty, violent but no more so than the original movie. Great directing from Doctor Who boy Noel Clarke!

    A good idea. Had a bit too much filler though.
