St George's Day (2012)

Fackin' 'ell Guv, it's yet another Cockney Gangsta movie!!

I'm sure there's a factory 'saaf of the river' churning out these movies, this one involves said Cockney gangsta's, the Russian Mafia, Football hooligans and the bizarre casting of Page 3 girl Keeley Hazel!!
The movie is choc full of the usual faces for a movie of this ilk, Craig Fairbrass, Dexter Fletcher, Frank Harper, Nick Moran, Janie Foreman etc...

Thankfully it's not as bad as I feared, the cockney slang is kept to a minimum, Charles Dance is excellent as the gangs 'advisor' but the same can't be said for Keeley Hazel's 'performance' as the Peckham Princess, which is one of the unintentional comedy performances of the year!

Stupid silly nonsense, but not the car crash of a flick I feared.
