djg32514 Most movies made in the U.S. nowadays are pretty low brow and seem to cater to Hollywood elites and their sophomoric sensibilities. Not so with the British and Australian film industry. Solid story, characters are well defined, actors are top notch though not widely known. The weaving of the story in chapters works well. I have been a fan of the British gangster films for quite sometime now. Pistols are held and fired as pistols, violence is in your face when it needs to be and subtle when it adds to the story. Nothing gratuitous about it. Good direction as well. If you are fan of the genre this is a little known gem.

sportsbros808 I am a sucker for British Gangster movies so when I got a look at "Who Needs Enemies" I was pretty psyched. While most films in this genre kind of stick to a set storyline, Who Needs Enemies adds something more; awesome cinematography.This film is beautifully shot and some of the scenes deserve to be framed and hung on a wall. Director, Peter Stylianou does an excellent job of framing and pacing and Andre Govia (cinematographer) wrings every bit of emotion out of each shot. The colors range from warm yellows and browns to cold blues and greys so seamlessly that it keeps the story going.Now make no mistake, as beautiful as this film is, it is also incredibly violent. Something that I also like in my crime movies. The plot is one of old friends turning on each other and in the seedy underworld that pretty much means that someone has to die.Tom Sheridan, played by Ian Pirie, is a gangster who owns a successful strip club in London. His old friend, Ian (played by Michael McKeil) rents out the club for a private party all seems well. Unfortunately, there are some unspeakable acts going on during the party and Tom decides to get revenge on his old mate.Not to give too much away, but this feud starts an all out war on the streets of London as the body count rises.The entire cast is not well known but they deliver solid performances. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are connected guys. Overall this is a beautifully violent film that takes the British Gangster genre to a new level. Very much recommended.

Jesse Boland This is a great movie there is no way around that. Told in the shuffled "Pulp Fiction" style, and told very well. The entire cast are fantastic, and the story as it pulls you this way, and that is so very smooth. There are moments in this movie that are so well built up that once we get to the final crossroads of the story where all of the pieces are brought together you can feel the tension, and are on the edge of your seat wondering who will actually be walking away from this. This cast of characters is so well blended, but so very British and in the best way. I don't even have to tell you at this point, but yes I really did Enjoy this movie, and would whole heartedly recommend it to every adult out there. This movie is not for kids, it's not a slasher film, but the language, and content is just not what kids should see just yet, but of course that is dealers choice. Heavy on the language, with a real salting of violence, and very adult content, but if those are things you can handle, then have at it, and you will be glad you did.

Jason Morgan What can i say about this film but go and see it, brilliant acting, brilliant Directing, Brilliant soundtrack, Brilliant story line everything in a film i like.
