Even though I enjoyed the film a few things did stand out to me that weren't even necessarily about the film itself. No Black director could ever get away with making the type of hard edged, violent, crime film that Guy continues to make without white & Black folks complaining. He likes gangster movies and that's what he does. Nobody is going to claim that he is causing youth in the UK to shoot up schools or enter into a life a crime. No one is going to ask if he is "really hood". Then add to that the fact that a "rocknrolla" can be as violent, self destructive and ignorant as he wants to be but God forbid if someone made "Gangsta Rapper" and made that shit as cool and sexy as Guy did.
