Ill Manors

[18]

United Kingdom 2012, 121 mins
Director: Ben Drew
Starring: Riz Ahmed

Synopsis

FOUR LIONS star Riz Ahmed is the lead in this crime thriller from first-time director Ben Drew (aka rapper/singer-songwriter Plan B).

The story unfolds in Forest Gate, East London, where four characters' lives intertwine over the course of a few days through the medium of rap music. This low-budget British urban drama may sound like it's cut from a familiar cloth, but with an intriguing episodic structure, a promising up-and-coming cast and a storming soundtrack courtesy of its BRIT award-winning director, ILL MANORS might just be one of the year’s surprise packages.
