Overcomes its low budget suspenseful story, sympathetic leads and cracking ’80s soundtrack.

Reviews for Clubbed
1 - 11 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticIt’s a comically inept and unfocused piece of filmmaking, with ‘This Is England’-lite period detail attained by what looks like a bring-your-own-costume policy.
01/16/09
It's surprisingly good: well written, nicely acted and beautifully scored.
01/16/09
It’s a dreadful piece of writing, compounded by an array of shockingly poor performances.

Top CriticA piece of violent geezer-porn.
01/16/09
Top CriticDirector Neil Thompson’s literally hardhitting tale of a turning worm who transforms himself from meek factory drone to strutting nightclub doorman doesn’t cast a light on anything.
01/16/09
Though predictable, the attention to period detail makes this a Brit-flick rather like its hero – an intelligent little scrapper.
01/16/09
It left The Sneak wishing the cinema doorman had said his name wasn’t on the list and he wasn’t coming in to see Clubbed.
01/16/09
The swaggering acting and profanity-rich dialogue, alas, make Neil Thompson’s film feel little more than an excuse for Guy Ritchie-esque posturing.
01/16/09
Below average British crime drama that's let down by a shockingly weak central performance, some poor direction, shoddy production design and a cop-out ending.
01/16/09
Soon enough, Danny's up there with the skinhead, suggesting his own masculine ego is the priority, not his kids.
