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

Reviews for Clubbed
It’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.
It's surprisingly good: well written, nicely acted and beautifully scored.
It’s a dreadful piece of writing, compounded by an array of shockingly poor performances.
Director 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.
Though predictable, the attention to period detail makes this a Brit-flick rather like its hero – an intelligent little scrapper.
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.
The swaggering acting and profanity-rich dialogue, alas, make Neil Thompson’s film feel little more than an excuse for Guy Ritchie-esque posturing.
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.
Soon enough, Danny's up there with the skinhead, suggesting his own masculine ego is the priority, not his kids.
