Carl is then drawn into their world in order to discover the truth about his brother's suspicious death.

Reception

Empire magazine gave the film three stars, calling it "...stylishly filmed, solidly plotted and, in Rhys and Guillory, offers an appealing central couple. All of which, coupled with a refreshing lack of reliance on gangster stereotypes and firearms, makes this one of the more palatable British thrillers of late".[2]

The BBC also gives the film three stars but warns, w"Jovy is so keen on giving us a snapshot of club culture (which comes across as startlingly real) that he lets go of his well-wounded plot and so the mid-section becomes a long flat stretch, punctured only by a few entertaining bits and bobs."[3]

Music

The film's modern musical soundtrack includes songs by; Leftfield, Morcheeba, Public Enemy, Elvis Presley, Matt Darey, Southsugar, The Turtles, Mauro Picotto, Paul Johnson, Aphrodite, Agnelli & Nelson, Funky G, Gibson Brothers, St. Etienne, Kadda Cherif Hadria, Disposable Disco Dubs, Six Degrees, Da Hool, Highgate, Art Of Trance, Scott 4, Depeche Mode, Twisted Pair, Lost Tribe and CRW.

During the closing titles sequence of the film, a trance remix of Ithaka's 1992 vocal-poem song "So Get Up" was shown (remixed by Italian DJs, Atlantis) ending the entire film with Ithaka Darin Pappas' acapella line, "I'll See You In The Next Life".[4][5][6][7][8]
