Ill Manors

Plan B's directorial debut paints a fascinating if uncomfortable picture of urban life

Ill Manors finds Ben 'Plan B' Drew making the shift from best-selling musician to promising filmmaker (he's certainly a better director than he is actor). While the film's multi-narrative approach isn't particularly original, Drew makes good use of it to tell his various stories and keep us guessing how they all tie together - there's also a smart use of music to reveal backstories for many of his key characters.

The Blu-ray delivers, too, with a crisp AVC 1.85:1 1080p image and pumping DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack that delivers a fantastic musical landscape. There are also some quality extras to dip into, including a couple of short films that inspired Ill Manors.
