It's called "This is England" and is about this kid growing up in Yorkshire with no father (died in the falklands) and he gets bullied and shit..
So, he befriends a group of cool skinheads (no, not neo nazis, skinheads by fashion.. one is black
) but, when the nasty fucking asshole of the group gets out of prison things get really messed up.It's a low budget flick, kinda like one of them sundance ones, but it's seriously good.
There are two big actors in the film, one being the fattish dude out of Lock Stock (the robber guy who steals drugs.. he was also in Football Factory as the nasty cunt) and Tommy from Snatch ("What ya gonna do Tommy? Bust a cap in his ass.. lmao)
All of the other actors are rank amateurs. Infact, the 'star' of the movie (Shaun) is just a normal snot nosed 13 Y/O kid they interviewed on a walk in with no acting experience.
The music is utterly awesome, Ska, reggae and all things 80's, and the nostalgia kick at the beginning had me wiping tears of joy (Roland Rat, BMX Beat, Culture club, falklands news footage).
This movie can be bought here for you UK'ers -

Or, if you are one of our colonial cousins you can get it from any good torrent stockist (Hint - Isohunt lol).
But do check it out, it's gritty, cute, funny and sometimes hard as nails
