Shooters [DVD]

Product Information

Mr Parry-Jones said Bennett had been awaiting sentence for more than a year and that with his mental health issues, the stress had weighed heavily. The film also portrayed the day-to-day life of a gangster, the flash cars, cocaine, guns and casual violence. This is what a gangster movie should be like, not little softies like that Statham bloke who seems to be appearing on every tough guy movie. Nightclub bouncer Big John is eager to earn some quick money and becomes involved in the plans for a robbery. PAPYRUS (0800 068 41 41) is an organisation supporting teenagers and young adults who are feeling suicidal.

In this docudrama, non-professionals with criminal backgrounds re-enact ad-libbed scenes of life in Liverpool's underworld. The film starred Ricky Rowe, Christopher Scully, Franny Bennett, John Wayland and Dezzy Bayliss, among others. But when the big man later gets linked to the drug-related death of a rival gangster, things begin to get out of hand. Whilst they were fighting the fire Mr Bennett arrived, who was the occupier of the premises, with a pickup truck.

This scene is the nauseous aftermath of a shooting carried out by a motley crew of drugdealing doormen. The Film is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters . A doorman turned gangster flick actor tried to load his crop of cannabis plants into a pickup truck as firefighters tackled a blaze at his home, a court has heard.

APA style: Movie that opened doors to a new career; LEADER: PADDY SHENNAN speaks to three former Liverpool doormen who, thanks to a twist of fate, are now carving out new careers in the acting profession. Shooters was first shown on Channel 4 in 2000 and was a dark mix of fiction and reality, set around the murky Liverpool underworld. The judge handed Bennett eight months in prison, suspended for two years, plus a six-month Drug Rehabilitation Requirement.But as firefighters tried to put out the flames, the 46-year-old arrived and started loading cannabis plants into a pickup truck. The actors are (or were at the time) all members of the Liverpool criminal class and that lends a chunk of authenticity to the production. Fists, boots and bullets fly in the film but in one scene we learn that one of our characters bites the ear off a gang member "from the crew in Manny". I purchased it without having any expectations with the people in the film being rank amateurs without any experience.

Mind (0300 123 3393) is a charity based in England providing advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. Set in Liverpool, this film by Dan Reed uses a cast of non-actors and semi-improvised scenes in an attempt to accurately portray the murky world of UK gangsters, with shockingly realistic results.
