directed by Julian Gilbey
United Kingdom 2006
Fearing production falling thru, brothers
Julian and Will Gilbey chose 100% private financing, thus “Rollin’ with
the Nines” is a low-budget film. Production wise it is visible. Most
dialogue scenes are single set few actors, with minimum production values,
common for low-budget productions. But don’t be fooled by this element.
“Rollin’ with the nines” is quiet a good gangster film, and had it had a
million pound budget and more professional actors, it would have been
recognized as such by more.
Finny, Rage and Too Fine are three gangsters, who are trying to get away
from that side of life thru hip-hop music, but when Too Fine is killed, they
are sucked back into the world they tried to escape from.
While lacking character depth, the revenge motif of “Rollin’ with the
Nines” is clearly outlined and beautifully staged. Even better is the
action sequences, which are staged and executed with such brute force.
“Rollin’ with the nines” may be a low-budget amateur film, but its story and
action really sucks you in.

Comments |
Shot in HD, the image looks amazing. No
artefacts, strong colors (for video) and shard details. Sound comes in the standard three formats for Tartan. Go for the DTS, for more "umph". Additional material includes a great audio commentary by writer and director, going into detail with production. Following a feature length making of documentary, detailing background for film and production elements. Both cover production nicely and adds solid insight. |
