This abrasive Salford-set non-com nothing to do with the Smiths, although roughly as funny as Morrissey is nowadays charges out of the gate pummelling all the wrong buttons.

Sink-estate caricatures in thoroughly implausible situations! Larky GBH! Audibly male-authored girl talk! A middle-aged bloke masturbating over a teenager! Nothing causes the heart to sink quite so precipitously, however, as the realisation that these characters will be our heroes for the evening.

And with Danny out of the picture — though his body is actually very much in this picture — the group seem to have eliminated one problem only to have created themselves a few more.

British comedies are full of similar tales of hapless ordinary folk involved in disreputable acts but for the greater good of their community Whisky Galore and A Private Function spring to mind although this film recalls more recent, grittier comedies such as Shameless , thanks to the Mancunian setting and the far from upright denizens portrayed.

Like Shameless , this film wants you to root for its protagonists, despite their various shortcomings. The Brits love rooting for underdogs and this film channels that love of the underdog, with audiences expected to want this group of miscreants to get away with murder.

Here, though, Green has unleashed his inner comedic skills and, while the humour may be black, Strangeways Here We Come is very light and quick on its feet as it romps through the streets of Salford. That prison saw an infamous riot in and this film promises to be a riotous affair itself. All rights reserved. All total or partial use of the content of this website is prohibited.
