Shank

Release Date: 26-03-2010

La Haine meets The Warriors meets Grange Hill, set in South London. An interesting mix for new Brit flick Shank

*SHANK, out at UK cinemas from 26 March 2010*

Not to be confused with 2009 Brit flick of the same name, which was effectively a gay love story, 2010 Shank is a violent debut feature from Mo Ali. Set in the nearish future, it envisages a horrible London that's succumbed to a worsening recession, with gangs of hoodies fighting just for food to survive.

Starring upcoming rapper Ashley Basher Thomas, this one focuses on a 'friendly' gang who are forced to reconsider their pacifist sway when one of their core members brutally cops it. Check out our EXCLUSIVE CLIP in the player above.
