Shooters
Shooters is a drama documentary film, directed by Dan Reed for Suspect Device Films. The film is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters'. It is most notable for having been completely unscripted apart from a brief outline; each scene was improvised and ad-libbed by the actors themselves.

Pretty Good
i must have seen a different film!!
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
hands down the best film ever made and my uncle john is the star. watch this every weekend with are Lucas with a chippy tea and me auntie carol comes round with a load of munchies so proud to be his nephew after his performance is this classic movie. spoke to john other day on phone and he said they in talks for making a part 2 with john Finn and john derby and r Ricky fingers crossed this happens and is as good as the first BEST FILM EVER FIRE TONIGHTTTTTTTTTTTT
Coming from Liverpool, it was very strange to see and hear the very people you had heard of, who were not to be crossed, acting in a film!In my opinion it is a very realistic snapshot of the seedier, more murky side of Liverpool, with gangsters and, as the film title suggests, guns.You wouldn't believe that the actors are actually real people from that seedier world... their performances considering this are superb. Brilliant film in my opinion, hoping they make another to tie up all the loose ends left from this.Quality.
director Dan Reed wanted to make a film about an underworld killing that took place in Liverpool 1996 unable to follow this through he set about making a piece about people living with and through crime, and with practically no budget, and actors with no experience he's made a sensational, tough and raw piece of cinema.There is no denying that it has a film school quality but that just adds to the realism of the movie.If you like your films tough, hard to sit through but ultimately rewarding then treat yourself.
This movie ought to be realistic, almost documental but actually it´s more like a diploma work of a film student with some friends. Dan Reed may have wanted to create something really deep and revealing but no go. Though the characters are colourful and perhaps indeed realistic, there´s not much of context and content to build a full movie on it. Nonetheless it´s worth watching if you lack ideas how to spend time like They do in the movies...
