Chopratown Audience Reviews

Clevercell Very disappointing...
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
patsyheavenuk What a great show, please bring on more of the same! so nice to see my old stomping ground (East Ham) being used to show a witty and sharp cast and very clever script. None of the old worn out Asian stereotypes here, (i noticed there were more humorous comments made here of that; the Turk who knew, or was related to the entire Turkish community!- the reality of the Hindu family - and the dip into controversy with him being estranged from his wife) Vik is a fast thinking, funny, likable and very real character, as are the rest of the cast - Neil Stukey in particular. The bit with the Hindu Liberation Front cracked me up completely! My partner is British Asian, very discerning and he howled through it, instead of hiding his head under his cushion! Please don't let this be just a pilot!!! Many thanks Patsy
