4.0 out of 5 stars Feeding the rush to steal stuff., October 25, 2003

By 

Hogarth Hughes (Rockwell, ME) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shopping (DVD)

Here's the plot- some cool criminals in a not too distant future industrial London steal cars, only to drive them into posh shopping malls to loot what they can before hearing police sirens, basically for the rush- wicked. This debut from PAUL ANDERSON (EVENT HORIZON) is a nifty little film that manages to exite in it's short running time. Gritty and well acted by some up and comming English talent (SEAN PERTWEE is excellent as usual as a tough scumbag), this flick has some slick production for an indie. A movie that looks good, moves with purpose, and draws the viewer into a world of grime and crime is always worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, October 24, 2005

Martha A. Hough "ladyphil" (Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shopping [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was an amazing piece of cinema. Soundtrack, acting, and cinematography was wonderful. It is a bit dated now, but otherwise well done. It never tries to justify what these people do and how they live, but merely make us understand why they do it, and maybe have some sympathy as well. They treat life like ride and they have to face the consequences: it shows we eventually have to take responsibility for our actions, no matter how fast we run (or drive) away from them.
Sean Pertwee's performance as a drug-addicted, crime tycoon was especially good. He had a constant flow of energy just under the surface, making him seem unpredictable and dangerous, which he is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cult film in the making. Awesome soundtrack., March 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Shopping [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of those films that you have to watch, if not have. The lo-budget rawness of the acting, nihilistic action and setting really make this one stand out more than anything than Paul Anderson has done (Event Horizon, Mortal Kombat and other big-budget busts).

Immediately I was intrigued by the performances of Sadie Frost and Jude Law and by the gritty, post-industrial setting of the Bowery-equivalent of London.

Paul Anderson defintely has a knack for picking the best techno soundtracks, remember Mortal Kombat? Go see it and then buy it. It's not even a cult film yet but it will be!
