Product Description

A simple business deal is about to go very, very wrong ...

Determined to kill his wife's lover, a middle-class accountant (Steven Mackintosh, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) attempts to purchase a .38 from an inner-city crackhead (Ashley Walters, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), unaware the gun actually belongs to a psychotic drug lord (Andy Serkis, The Lord of the Rings) who'd kill to get his weapon back. Gritty and suspenseful, Sugarhouse is a "furious and frightening film" (Jason Solomons, The Observer), an edgy urban thriller about deception, drug deals and a gun to die for.

2.0 out of 5 stars much ado about nothing, November 8, 2009

By	Jeffery Mingo (Homewood, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This was like a poor man's imitation of a Guy Ritchie film. It shows British men, of many ethnicities, fighting each other and engaging in illegal activities. In fairness, if you keep watching, the static characters end up having dynamic backgrounds. Still, this movie could have fit into a sitcom's time, rather than being the normal film length. It was dull in so many ways.
The one good thing was Andy Serkis. As soon as you see him, you see his powerful, Herculean backside and they don't just show it once. If you have been saddened that Michael Chiklis have never filmed in the raw, Mr. Serkis is a good substitute. His tattoos may distract, but he's your man if you like burly, beefy types.
For all I know, this may have been imitation "Reservoir Dogs" too. If you like machismo and bloodshed, then you will like this genre. Still, there is something about this film that is just sub-standard.
