meantime

Colin (Tim Roth, making his screen debut) and his brother Mark (Phil Daniels, who starred in Quadrophenia) are down and out. They live in a squalid flat with their unemployed father, Frank (Jeff Robert), and their put-upon mother, Mavis (Pam Ferris). They're on the dole, and Mark is constantly scrounging for cash and cadging drinks from his friends, among them Coxy (Gary Oldman in his screen debut), a skinhead.

The summary is incorrect. Tim Roth made his screen debut two years prior in Alan Clarke's Made In Britain, where he played a violent 16 year old skinhead.

I know but it is official summary for this film.

"They race llamas now, you know"

"Filty peel-head raas!"

"Don't stink it out, Frank"

"I've just had a really orrible hamburger"

"Kojak!"

@popesnose Gary Oldman was great as everything ... Hmm except for Stoopid Spider Smith, but he was still as good as that character could possibly be.

Gary Oldman was great as Drexel Spivy in True Romance

When I heard that Tim Roth , Phil Daniels and Gary Oldman where all in one film together I couldnt wait to see it. But then when I first saw it I was so disapointed in this film. Great actors but so boring!!

The rich ones are now the average ones, lol

Phil Daniels is so underrated as an actor

@chambersgirl92 Actually as a full time university student I don't pay tax on any work I do and currently I have no taxable income from anything else. Just means that I have to work my arse off for a job at the end of my degree so that I can pay back every penny of my student loan, probably with interest. I don't come from a well off family who can support me and I don't look down on anyone who hasn't gone the same road as I have and I'm not paying the new raised fees either as i started before,

Phil daniels has all the best lines in this film. If he wasn't in it , the film would be far too bleak.

I watched this for Film Studies as a study of the Thatcher regime but I never thought I would have such a narrow escape from living like this. Don't ever grumble about your job if you have a steady one, because you should be glad it exists at all!

It is not his screen dubut. Get your facts straight!
