Dead Man Running
This British gangster film starred Tamer Hassan, Danny Dyer, 50 Cent and Monet Mazur. It is very much in homage to Guy Ritchie's earlier work-somewhat too much so.

Anyway the plot is that top gangster/loan shark 50 Cent (it's not really explained how an American is big time in the UK underworld unless the writers really thought 50 was doing an English accent) decides that because of the failing economy now would be a good time to start calling in all of his outstanding loans, starting with the 100K owed to him by ex-con Hassan. 50 Cent gives Hassan 24 hrs to come up with the money. Otherwise he's going to have one of his Luca Brasi type psychos kill Hassan's mother before 50 kills Hassan.

So Hassan and his partner Dyer go on a crime spree to raise the money. Of course 50 really would just rather kill Hassan and has put out the word on the street that no one is to loan Hassan any money or do any business with him.

The audio for this film wasn't mixed properly IMO and it's difficult at times to hear the dialogue over the background sounds. Of course the thick "accents" make this even more difficult though presumably this would not be an issue for UK viewers. It does get better near the end-the sound not the story.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
