Plan B film 'iLL Manors' shocks critics
Published Friday, Feb 10 2012, 11:22 GMT | By Greg Laing | 3 comments
Plan B's directorial debut iLL Manors has been described as "harrowing".
The film reportedly features pimping, drug abuse, child killing, shooting, gangland bullying, theft and child trafficking.
According to The Sun, one critic said: "Really harrowing, gross stuff. Before I went, I'd assumed that if you'd seen one grime musical based in East London, you'd seen them all.
"Turns out I was wrong, because iLL Manors - even in what the PR assured me was an 'unfinished state' - is frequently horrific."
However, they went on to say that the movie "isn't half-bad".
"I mean, it put me off my food and I couldn't look anybody in the eye for a few days afterwards, but I learnt some important lessons from iLL Manors," the critic continued.
"I am going to do whatever I can not to lose a pimp's phone, take part in the botched murder of a notorious gangland figure or sell any babies that I find on trains."
Plan B has said that his film was inspired by Quentin Tarantino and Shane Meadows.
