Gunz is thrust into a world of excitement when he joins the TIC crew. The crew, led by the ruthless Hoodz, goes from low level weed peddling to full on armed robberies within a fortnight. Their new found infamy affords them a life of guns, drugs, and girls but they also catch the attention of the police and a rival gang. To make matters worse they have been infiltrated by an undercover police officer. Does he have "THE INTENT" to remain a criminal or abide by his oath to the force?

The Intent has a plot we have all seen before, it had no originality and failed to deliver anything new. I think where the movie fails the most is the believability, especially from the cop's point of view. They did not feel like real police at all. The acting is quite questionable, but I will let it slide as the script did not help them. There was just no development for any of them and were we meant to like Gunz because it did not do a good job at making us root for him. If a movie doesn't have a character you like, then what even is the point. The last robbery was not shot very well, struggled to see what was going on and the film just ended so abruptly. With a better script and more meaning to the characters, this could have been a solid British crime drama. 3/10
