I bought this DVD because I like anything with Danny Dyer in it, but even he couldn't rescue this film. Slow, takes a while to understand what its about. Really, don't bother.
The lives of a handful of Londoners collide and collapse in this multi-stranded drama starring Danny Dyer There are seven-and-a-half million stories waiting to be told about life in the capital, and City Rats locates about eight of them. A low budget drama by a writer and director both making their feature debut, it's an uneven but ambitious enterprise which, like its characters, never knows which way to turn, or how best to exploit its own strengths. Pete (Danny Dyer) is a drink-drenched ex-con haunted by a crime he hasn't quite finished paying for. Gina (Susan Lynch) is a prostitute in callipers who lives in the flat above Hoxton-haired artist Dean (Ray Panthaki), who dreams of making her his muse. Olly (Kenny Doughty) is an earnest young guy with a few bad habits who finds himself looking after his deaf, autistic brother Chris (James Lance), who's clear about his sexual orientation in a way Olly definitely isn't. Jim (Tamer Hassan) is a drunken, suicidal divorcee hurling watermelons off a roof in order to work out the best trajectory for his own leap into the dark. Sammy (MyAnna Buring) is Dean's ex and she's also had enough of life. Carol (Natasha Williams) is the middle-aged mother who holds the key to Pete's past. As director Steve Kelly and writer Simon Fantauzzo's film unfolds, the ties which bind these lives together grow gradually more tangled, and in the process the film seeks to say something Crash-like about atomised individuals, urban anxiety and walking your own line through the alleys, lock-ups and riverside walkways which form City Rats' artfully grimy backdrop.Read full review
