DVD Reviews of A Very British Gangster
DVD Review: Brilliantly Shot Crime Documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
A Very British Gangster is one of the most underrated and beautifully-shot crime documentaries available. What distinguishes this documentary from most others is how it's directed. Far from the typical gritty hand-held guerrilla style of documentary work, this film is filled with brilliant cinematography and effective crane shots. The British rock soundtrack is an excellent backdrop to footage of the seedier sides of Manchester.
Dominic is no Tony Soprano; despite the flashy suits and manicured appearance, his home life seems to be fairly working class. Where Noonan loses credibility is with his entourage, which is almost exclusively made up of teenagers. It calls into question not how dangerous Dominic is, but if he's as powerful as others make him out to be.
It's still impossible to deny his family's reputation, as the film reveals Manchester's major reaction to the death of one the infamous Noonans. His constant court appearances serve as a testament to his alleged criminal activity, and some of the things that this gangster confesses are shockingly honest and revealing.
So while it's hard to say exactly where Dominic Noonan ranked on the totem pole of British gangsters, it's safe to say that this was a well-shot documentary.
