An eye-opening, if one-sided and reverential, talking-heads doc about London's "Wild East" candidly told by the hard men gangsters themselves.

Inevitably, this is a sympathetic, one-sided film and its familiar perspective is a nostalgic, sometimes tiresome one that imagines a 'golden age' when grannies could leave their doors open at night. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 2/6 | Full Review…

Intentionally or not, Nicola Collins's filmed interviews with various old-school East End geezers give us a fair idea of their sentimentality, paranoia, smugness and flashes of humour. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The film is a flavourful record of what is - as the interviewees are well aware - a vanishing culture, but it doesn't dig deep. May 7, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A deliberately distressed and scratchy documentary of talking heads, sporting the same sinister techno score and added subtitles for non-cockneys. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The flesh-crawling thrill is that these stories about armed robberies, ghastly fights, and grisly murders are utterly compelling. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This is a disappointingly reverential exercise in East End mythologising that's too busy sucking up to its rheumily sentimental interviewees to spend enough time exploring the few interesting observations they do make. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Moodily shot on monochrome and accompanied by an industrial soundtrack, it already seems these hardmen belong to a different, rose-tinted era. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

They're eloquent, witty and quietly terrifying, the glitchy visuals and chilly score undercutting the laughs with a tremendous sense of foreboding. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The End could be criticised for being one-sided (none of the victims get a look-in). But that's missing the point, for at heart it's really a portrait of a long-gone era. In all, it's the best British crime film in years. May 1, 2009 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Would you Adam and Eve it, the film is packed with notorious criminals including Victor Dark, a man living by the "code" of "helping old ladies across the road." May 1, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
