There was Kidulthood the Adulthood and now we have Brotherhood. The first two films of the trilogy were great films depicting the early 2000's London street life. I watched brotherhood two days ago and we have to take our hats of Noel Clarke for his outstanding directing, writing and acting. The film is well written showing the elements of the London life among teen gangs and the reality of organized crime in the UK - Noel shows the way the gangster life is portrayed as glamorous among the youth whilst showing the reality of gang crime and violence in the inner city. Clarke has shown cleverly the way street life has changed from when he was a teenager to modern day teenage gang involvement. There is excellent directing with fantastic soundtracks from notable, prominent Grime UK artist: Nines,Stormzy,Chip,Fekky,Krept and Konan and Asher D. Whilst other films based on London's inner city are Americanized, Clarke keeps it 100 with the London feel. There is a fantastic cast from other TV dramas such as Waterloo Road, Youngers and other cast member from the previous sequels. Though the film is brilliant, it in a sense glamorizes the organised crime lifestyle and has some graphic scenes with some character. In conclusion the hood trilogy is a well -written trilogy with great directing and acting. Brotherhood is a raw unique film and is good watch.
