Rollin' with the Nines (2006)

and all about the black drug scene in London, who knew??? It's low budget, true, and it shows. Gets quite dodgy in parts, but once you make allowance for that this is a nice bit of entertainment, make you wince here and there, but hey,wincing is good. The actress who plays Hope is really quite good.Also nice to see a black story with lot's black cast etc coming out of the UK, make the world aware that them bombocloth Jamaicans got their scene going on under the queens nose.Good body count. The bust up in Carnage's place, gritty and that dump really looked like a dump. Nice use of a non-stick frying pan too!!! The portrayal of the cops is also gritty and interesting. All in all, a good use of 90 mins.I could go for a part two and three if it's this intense. Come on UK, do your stuff. Get a better budget and hit me baby one mo' time.

Despite the fact that there allot of people i know who actually star in this movie, I've only just had a chance to watch it for the first time now. (and its f**king wicked) The camera work is beautiful, and Actor & Friend Terry Stone plays his part very very nicely, Loving it Terry, looking forward to working on 10 Dead men with ya. Rollin with the nines, yes yes yes,The Violence, god damn, the claret (everywhere), The lead Actress, Naomi Taylor sexy as f**k,and when some one gets blasted with a nine, they really get hit hard and its convincing when someone gets killed. Get this film asap, will cost you about £16 from Hmv but well f**king worth having this one in your collection. love this film to bits and no i Ain't being bias either. BrEnDaN

This film affected me profoundly; I had no reason to suppose I wasn't seeing an accurate depiction of the black subculture in Britain. I still don't.I can't flaw the direction, acting or camera-work. Why I only gave it an 8 instead of 10 is because of the storyline.*Spoiler* If you haven't seen the film, skip the next paragraph.This film is different in that there are really no good guys. Sure, our hearts go out to Hope (Naomi Taylor) when her drug-dealing brother is whacked and she is beaten up. But can we really condone her taking his place? Here is where the morality wagon loses a wheel. In the end she gets away with murder and being a drug dealer. I couldn't help it, it made me feel kind of dirty for being on her side.Apart from that little glitch, which is actually pretty important, I can hardly fault this piece of work. It has been reported that the film is technically flawed. Whatever factual inaccuracies it may have are only apparent to someone close to the scene and don't affect me, who has never been there. I was anyway left with the impression that the West-Indian subculture in Britain makes the Afro-American scene look relatively tame.

Rollin With Nines is a modern action packed film of the street from the street. It' s a breathless roller-coaster ride of a cinematic experience. It takes the viewer into the streets of London and shows them like you've never seen them before, because it's real. It's Lock Stock without the jokes, it's NARC with a wicked, thumping and relentless soundtrack by the likes of Dizee Rascal, Simon Webbe, Miss Dynamite and anyone who is anyone in the street music scene. The photography is stylish, inventive and aptly hectic. It is without a doubt a piece of ground breaking British cinema. The creators of the story Pikki (also music producer) and Bigs had a huge influence and input on the dialogue, which helped anchor the film firmly into its roots. The films strength is dealing with the issues without sentimentality or moralising. It is a story of revenge and the inability of the main protagonists to escape the only life they know which ultimately reaps their demise. Good performances all round but specially Robbie Gee, Vas Blackwood, Anthony Warren and strong cameo from Jason Flyming.
