Perfect cast and a good story
Load of rubbish!!
Blistering performances.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Within the first five minutes it wasn't the nines I was rolling but my eyes . Oh dear I thought yet another British film where some white middle class posh boys straight out of film school produce a movie that tells what life is like in da ghetto where life is cheap short and brutal and the inhabitants speak in a unique language which makes no sense unless you're Ali G . Despite this I did give it a chance since it was directed by Julien Gilbey who did the very under rated RISE OF THE FOOTSOLDIER . I'm glad I did because this film is very engaging though perhaps not in a good way Okay guv I confess . It's a fairly terrible movie . After the first five minutes we're treated to a drive by killing followed by a rape followed by a revenge killing . This all happens by the ten minute mark and the film has to pad out the next hour and a half by having gangland executions more retaliations and every sentence filled with the F and C words . At least I could understand the F and C words though , probably because I'm a white working class Celt . I didn't have a clue what the black characters were talking about and even if you're Brixton born and bred I guess you'd have no understanding of what this street lingo is . It goes way beyond parody and no matter who says what none of the dialogue sounds natural in anyway . We have a couple of corrupt cops and you'd be forgiven for thinking you're watching a comedy sketch show where a couple of comedians lampoon American cop shows . Their superior is referred to as " Captain " but as far as I know the Metropolitan police force don't have such a rank though they do in America . In more than a few places you think the action is taking place in an alternative universe where the Battle of Stalingrad meets South Central LA where the cops and the drug dealers engage in bitter house to house fightingYet despite all this or maybe because of all this ROLLIN remains very watchable . As I said it's a terrible film and is so over the top you worry the film might end up in orbit around Jupiter , but it's this deranged quality that keeps you watching similar as to watching a car crash . Some of the cast do deserve some praise such as Terry Stone for keeping a straight face as they spout their dubious dialogue , though some of them such as Roffem Morgan as Rage are guilty of some painfully obvious wooden acting . Watch the scene where Rage has sex in a toilet and I've got to admit I've shown more passion doing a crossword puzzle . Gilbey also has a strange framing technique where everything is shot in medium close up but I guess that might be down to a lack of budget . He does deserve some credit in crafting a film that is thoroughly unpleasant , populated by universally unlikable characters that has not an ounce of realism and yet it's a film I enjoyed in a sleazy sort of way . Not something I'd admit to in a hurry
In London, the former small time criminals and rappers Too Fine (Simon Webb), Finny (Vas Blackwood) and Rage (Roffem Morgan) release a hip-hop CD of their band "Time Served", promoted by their friend Pushy (Robbie Gee), expecting to be successful and make lots of money. But when the violent drug dealer Temper (Patrick Regis) murders Too Fine due to a debt on drugs, rapes his sister Hope (Naomi Taylor) and threatens their family, Hope kills Temper in his apartment sooner and Finny and Rage execute his partners in a night club. The dirty but efficient Detective Andy White (Terry Stone) and his partner investigate the murders and try to find and arrest the killers, while Finny, Rage, Pushy and Hope returns to the criminal life, associating to the former partner of Temper, the powerful gangster David Brumby (Billy Murray), dealing drugs on the streets."Rollin' With the Nines" is a violent, realistic, gore and underrated gangster film. I glanced some reviews, and I do not agree that the cast is not good; on the contrary, all of them have great performances, highlighting Terry Stone, who performs the corrupt, amoral, persistent and ambivalent detective. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "9 mm - O Preço da Vingança" ("9 mm - The Price of the Revenge")
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
I went to see the film Rollin on the Nines on Saturday and I was horrified. The film is so rubbish and I would advise anyone not to waste your money. The film is all about gangs, drugs, sex, violence and represents black people in an awful way. The characters and the story line are unrealistic. The only good part of the film is the end, how could black people show such negative representations of themselves? I don't understand how this film was able to be shown in the cinema. Also the acting is appalling. The film was so bad I had to walk out of the cinema and ask for my money back. Totally rubbish film. Please, Please don't waste your money!!
