If writer Paul Tanter's voiceover and dialogue had been delivered with any conviction, it might have distracted us from the dull visuals, over-complicated flash-back/flash-forward structure and TV soap opera-style acting.

Jack Said is another okay film enlivened by a typically spirited Dyer performance.

A dull, poorly acted affair that doesn't deserve the brief release it's getting.

From a Danny Dyer fan. Ok there are good films and there are bad films. Havent seen acting like this since the likes of Gregory's Girl. Would have taken the main character more seriously if played by Rufus Hound at least if you paid him to act you would get a performance worthy of this film (Ok it would be cack but
