Watch Pimp For Free

Too much of everything

A Masterpiece!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Robert Cavanah directs, produces, writes and stars in this seedy British thriller presented in a mock-documentary style. Cavanah plays the lead role, Woody, a Soho pimp, who allows a camera team to follow him for a week. Woody faces setbacks in the prostitution business due to a recession; he comes under scrutiny of a harsh boss(Danny Dyer), pushing him to be less tolerant and to ramp up discipline of his stable of girls. Woody is under pressure to show he is not too old in his ways doing business. A turf war has started with the local Chinese and his top earner Petra(Barbara Nedeljakova)turns up missing. And during this havoc filled week, Woody receives a mysterious tape featuring one of his girls being raped and murdered. Sex, betrayal, murder; this film is definitely not for everyone...but somehow does keep you captive if you allow it. Also in the cast: Billy Boyd, Robert Fucilla, Scarlett Alice Johnson, Gemma Chen, Susi Amy and Corey Johnson.

A Pimp decides to have a film crew follow him around..(Don't ask) It one of the most ridiculous idea's I've heard, surely a Pimp would try to hide his activities from the general public and the police, but here we have a one dimensional character who likes 'quotes' that sound profound...If the quote ' A killer is just a person without imagination'..or something along those lines, is profound then we have serious problem.The film is over the top with 'Danny Dyer' pretending to be mister big time gangster, who thinks that racism will make him sound tough.The lavish sets and beautiful women, do little to improve the film, the awful dialogue and even worse characters fail to entice the audience.

Well not exactly, but this pseudo documentary does try to shine light behind the scenes. I think it is daring to go places a normal movie wouldn't go and the idea as it is, is interesting. But while the commentaries seem forced (and like a bad cliché), what really drowns the movie, is the fact that it tries to put a fictionalized story behind it all.In other words, it tries to give the whole thing a meaning. Which goes completely against the mood/goal it set out to do. It is profane and will not be for those easily offended. But while there is also (some) explicit footage, this anything but exciting (pun intended). Of course, if you'd be looking for a special kind of excitement, you'd know where to look for it. That's not what I'm referring to. The movie as it is, is a drag. It feels just too long (but then again, that's just me ... try it out, but if you're not hooked after the first minutes, I highly doubt the movie will win you over by the end)

Vicious storyline. Check.Tight plot.Check.Crazy ride. Check.Violent and Exploitative movie. Check.Take a walk into the seedy underworld of Woody the SOHO pimp. Its a dark but fascinating world with its own unique cast of characters. This film is amazing. So different to any of the drivel that you regularly watch on PIMP movies. The directors and the writers have actually considered the soul of a character. His life. And that characterization made me pay attention. It made me care about the character. It made me root for him.The characters are RAW, and brilliantly acted. The story is tightly knit and fast paced. The visuals are gorgeous and disturbing. The cinematography style is intelligently considered. Kind of a movie being filmed as a documentary is a breath of fresh air.The subject matter is totally raw and obscene. It gives us a glimpse of the seedy SOHO underbelly. That's what makes it so fascinating to watch...If you're thinking about watching it. WATCH IT. It will shock, amuse and entertain in equal parts.This is 10/10 stars for me.
