An entertaining glimpse from Little Atoms into what it takes to produce the straight-to-DVD, low-budget gangster films that constitute Britain's "hard-man" movie scene (as exemplified in the trailer above for Bonded by Blood 2).
Most of the films follow a predictable pattern. Set in London or Essex, they simultaneously borrow from and contribute to the bubble of gangster folklore beloved by local hard men in village pubs. Their plots are simple; hackneyed tales of heists and hooligans, tooled-up enforcers, and old-school grandees for whom gentleman is more than just a world on a toilet door.
