Ever wondered what the locals do in Hackney when sun goes down?

According to this grotesquely violent and oddly sentimental film, they hack each other to bits and then torture other people during weird homo-erotic dancing rituals.

At the top end of his profession is Jon Bennet the ideal employee, with an efficient and conscientious manner.

His life as a cold-blooded killer is soon brought into perspective when he bumps into an old school friend Andy and his wife Cathy, and the normality of their lives soon infiltrates his gangster mind and he cannot concentrate on his chosen career.

His feelings for Cathy grow more intense and he soon realises that love and contentment play an important part in people's lives.

But Jon works for the Tattooed Man, a bizarre and unsavoury character with Hannibal Lecter-esque intellectual leanings.

But his passion for violence can only be matched by his jealously and as soon as he realises that Jon's affections are drifting elsewhere, his star pupil becomes fast-aware that the lives of his new friends are in grave danger.

Torn between Cathy and the Tattooed Man, he becomes Mr In-Between.

A frightening but disjointed film, with physical violence that mirrors the unrest in the soul of the protagonist.

It's really an X-rated and long episode of East Enders. Not for the feint hearted. Nor for those who are bored silly of the ubiquitous British gangster film.
