Victim review

A sharp and snappy cast cut through the urban drama clichés

Reviews
By Paul Bradshaw published 14 June 2012

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Bored with school in the Home Counties, middle-class Tia (Ashley Madekwe) takes her gap year in sunny south London, moving in with chav cousin Davina and a gang of teenage armed robbers.

As Tia falls for brooding pack leader Tyson (Ashley Chin) – trying to raise his little sister and pay off his waster mum’s gambling debts with “one last job” – it doesn’t take long for everyone to wish she’d stayed at home.

Anuva barrel of ’hood clichés it might be, but the sharp cast and snappy script (by Chin and co-star Michael Maris) make it fresher and funnier than it sounds.
