The Estate 2011
The story of a bad boy hoodie & his gang that dominate their zone on a notorious South London Estate, and five families struggle with every day crime. Police corruption is at a high & residents are pushed to the limit.
I didn't finish it. It wasn't a good story. Too many characters doing too many things. Made it boring. Bad acting too. It is always a novelty, though, for me as an American watching characters in gangs, lower class, terrace fighting, etc in UK films because there's a lot more mixing of races as friends/gang members/etc. That its not about race, but about class. I concede I've never even been to UK, but at least film wise this is a major, important difference between US movies/shows about gangster, cops, etc.
