Search: Starring Neil Maskell

Doghouse offers a lot of shouting, a ton of gore and a male wish-fulfilment fantasy where all women really ARE nothing but trouble and the only way to deal with them is to hit them round the head.

Probably a fairly accurate, if brutal, insight into the lives of a group of middle class thugs trying to fill a void in their dull meaningless existences.

Bent copper. Check. A liking for the charlie. Check. Shady gangsters operating out of shady strip clubs. Check.

Kill List manages to blend its study of friendship, masculinity, violence and family with a hitman road movie wrapped inside a horror mystery. This is quite some achievement.

Richard Coyle is decent in the title role, his engaging lead performance is a solid, if not star making turn.

This is an excellent attempt to bring something new to the crime genre.

Peter Ferdinando is excellent as the titular character.

A well-written and beautifully performed piece.

Self-aware and as on the make as its lead, it’s an accomplished lowbudget debut.
