Leave your thoughts about Who Needs Enemies.
| Total FilmPhilip KempIt's a promising feature debut for Stylianou; let's hope he explores fresher territory next time. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateFirst-time writer and director Peter Stylianou demonstrates future potential with Who Needs Enemies, but his debut feature fails to entice thanks to weak dialogue and stereotypical characters. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonThe film is too smitten with its loathsome small-time crooks to generate much interest in the plight of the victims or portray any women as anything but hapless bystanders. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonSolidly played but the pieces audibly clunk into place. |
| GuardianMike McCahillAnother week, another set of mouthy geezers in suits mugging one another off. |
| User ReviewBob R"Fackin' hell!" Yep, it's a Cockney gangster flick but have no fear, this ones quite decent. A series of intertwining vignettes and multiple flashbacks weave the story of betrayal, revenge and a dark sordid secret involving two old friends, think part 'Pulp Fiction' narrative, with Guy Ritchie black comedy and 'Lock Stock' gangsters, wide boys and low lives. The star of the show is undoubtedly Kris Johnson as psychopath Chris, one of the scariest movie characters put on the screen for some time, and the type of low life you know exists in 21st Century Britain. Bloody, brutal, and recommended |
