A funny, but sad, film about the immigrant life in modern day Britain. Thank God for my big sister. I would never have survived without her. Thank you Dori. xxxx

Warm hearted and un-PC.

what a strange film! i watched this today on iplayer... and did not know what to expect at all. basically, two russian fellows come over to london so that they can defile the system and take whatever they can. they're racist, greedy and not very nice. in fact there were a lot of racist undetones in this one? avoid this one; should be easy.

An interesting film, entertaining throughout. It starts to run of out steam after 50 mins but there isn't long left after that. Some of the narration and dialogue is difficult to understand, and some of the onscreen graphics and cutaways are too distracting & unnecessary. However, the films biggest strength is the performance of the 2 leads, with Ben barnes in particular deserving of much praise. Even though the 2 guys are petty criminals, you can't help but wish them success

First 40 minutes played out as a variation on the Borat style of mockumentary but redeemed itself from then on as it treated the challenges of economic migration slightly more seriously. Shame it was so patchy and ridden with stereotypes.

Darkly-comic take on immigrant life in the UK, although mostly the undesirable aspects. It does make some good observations, although the films style can be a little confusing in places.

Möjligen lite seg i mitten men i det stora en snygg och visst en hyfsat realistisk film.

Absolutely hilarious! Very well written. The acting is also brilliant; the way Cobakka and Atash deliver their lines is superb. Very funny, moving story. Also, great soundtrack! Someone PLEASE give me the name if the song with the chorus, 'Getting lost in London.'!!!

Its OK but not great - some funny moments tho. Maybe sthey should have just taken the idea of the true story and dramatised it more.

i see what they trying to do, but do they do it? not quite sure... its a good story to tell but i dont think the film makers connected with the london they were trying to highlight. im not gonna watch it again, but someone from the USA who is easily impressed with 'gritty' england will like it... (cough) keith!

2 guys from russia are coming to london england for one reason, to exploit the system,andget as much cash as they can, petty crimes, and benefit claims to phone card scams,they want to learn the tricks,and loop holes in british law,a exellent story,showing the twos luck, and down on there luck, from living in sheds to shoplifting,anything to make money in the city,a very honest portrayal of todays climate and also commentating on britains relaxed policy on imigration,which is very topical
