Review of Stagger

Stagger (2009)
Realistic Performances
24 January 2011
Gritty says everything but no punches are pulled in this dark Brit Gangster film.Films like this only come out every 10 years or so with realistic street cool performances from young fresh talent working on a small budget the film delivers in heaps with some blow you away scenes mixed with a awesome soundtrack cool car stunts i wonder how ever the guys behind it ever pulled it off. First timer Paul TT Easter ( JAKE STAG ) Excellent performance both dark and a very unbalanced a character as ever seen on screen. Dark and clearly able to dish out evil and torture on those who step on his turf never knowing what or where his complex persona with almost split personality will outburst into rage next or who he will dish it out to next at times very unsettling to watch. Kevin Wilkinson ( KNIGHT ) was excellent as a London Gangster trying to gain control over Stagger for the bigger London Scene. Also on top form ex Boxer Earl Ling ( Rat Shat ) as a used car sales man with some very nasty habits Holly McKeon was very good as ( Emma ) Jakes long time love interest i see faults with this film but it is one of the best indie gangster films to come out of the UK in many years. Read that Shane Meadows was a big influence on the director ( Paul TT Easter )and this can be seen in the clean flowing scenes which are almost like drama-doc in the way it,s shot with uncanny realism.
