Britain on Film: Black Britain Audience Reviews

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
