Anyone seen this, nicely understated, a bit too neat at the end but well worth a watch. review

You can almost hear the director's brain saying "avoid those brit gangsta cliches."

The cocaine addiction part was particularly chilling.
 
made in 18days apparently, low budget definitely helps here, i don't see a brit renaissance at all, just the odd film defying the norm.
 
Thought this low budget programme was excellent. Tucked away on BBC late last night about a drug dealer and the returning of a friend who disappeared for four years. Brilliant lead acting from Riz Ahmed. Definitely worth a watch.
