Film Review: Shank (2010) — A (World) SFF Film Odyssey

/

Most of you haven’t heard of Shank.  On some level, that’s probably a good thing.  Though low-budget can sometimes produce remarkable results, Shank is a film which suffers from a feeling of inexperience, overexertion, and disjointedness.  Set in a depression-rattled London in 2015, Shank follows a ragtag group of young men who are trying to earn enough money to do…something.  It’s never made clear exactly why they need to raise the money to go wherever they’re going, and this fact becomes irrelevant when Junior’s (Kedar Williams-Stirling) brother, Rager (Ashley “Bashy” Thomas — the UK rap artist), is murdered by rival gang leader, Tugz (Jerome Holder).  His dreams crushed, Junior sets off on a journey to get revenge, bringing along his family of gang members:  Kickz (Adam Deacon), Craze (Michael Socha, who looks suspiciously like Jake Gyllenhaal), and Sweet Boy (Jan Uddin).

Poll: Shaun should read this as…?

/

If you’ve been paying attention, there’s this whole Worldcon Fundraiser thing going on for Shaun (i.e., me).  One of the Milestone Perks involves me reading a classic work of literature or philosophy as either Captain America (post-government cutbacks) or Yoda (the green ninja).  I’ve let one of the donors pick the work, but the general public (i.e., you) gets to pick the character I will play! Fabio Fernandes wants me to read from Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None by Friedrich Nietzsche.  Now it’s up to all of you to decide the character!
