toshfapper Huh. So starts out Teacher is losing it with drinking, hit his daughter and then people started dropping dead. By crazy gymnastic monkey hoodie guys. So many questions unansweredStoryline sucks. Those people are so stupid. There was no character to really root for. It just hurts my brain thinking about how someone is like "oh yeah, This is perfect, what a great film"! 1. Why are they killing everyone? 2. Who are they? 3. Whats up with the gymnastics skills? Wh at happened to the police, Mother, daughter, and father? Did the daughter make it to the hospital? Were there backup officers called?WHY DOES IT JUST ENDWe are like is this a joke? and fast-forwarded to the end. Nope that is the ending. Open endings are awesome and all..But comon dude.
CJ Max Being a fan of the original Assault On Precinct 13, I wondered if a similar story would be used in a British film. 'F' comes very close, but more suited to a contemporary environment. Late night. Skeleton staff. Under attack by a well-thought look and action of the intruders. Faceless, even when right in front of you. Silent. Use of parkour excellent, though not over-used. Mixing the paranoia of the main character with a real threat really turns up the tension and frustration of him trying to convince the others. The ambiguous ending of the film works well, leaving us pondering the decisions the character(s) made throughout and at the finish. Personally, I feel this film deserves a sequel, though with different characters, as even when the film was over, the cause of the threat wasn't. I envisioned other scenarios, perhaps happening in other buildings/locations on the same night, meaning the threat was much larger and widespread. A sequel was I think talked about for the original Assault On Precinct 13, but sadly never came to fruition. However, it should happen for this film, else the concept is wasted. I hope the writer of 'F' writes a follow-up film based on the same theme as the first, as the use of a story of people trapped in a location under attack by large numbers always works if done well, as per Dog Soldiers, Night Of The Living Dead, The Day, etc. Hell, if it was okay with those who wrote/made 'F' , I'd have a go writing it myself. I'd hate to see a good idea wasted.
Christopher Walker I can see why this film is either a love or hate movie.There are those that like it's simple approach and execution, and there are those that just dislike it because it doesn't deliver the expected gore fest they've come to expect, and it doesn't make a lot of sense either.I'm a bit torn over this film, and wanted to like it more than I do.THE GOOD:I was impressed in the simple way it slowly nudged up the tension.It slowly made you feel more uncomfortable, as the hoodie gang attack lone teachers and pupils after hours at the school. I felt sorry for the teacher who had his career and life ruined by an obnoxious pupil who assaulted him, and then got away with it.His slow slide into alcoholism and depression was very well portrayed, and the deterioration of his relationship with his daughter was realistic and well acted.I'm glad the film didn't resort to wall to wall gore to show all the killings. Setting up the threat and then revealing later on the horrific aftermath was much more effective for me.Too many horrors swamp the viewer with ultra-realistic death scenes nowadays. It isn't shocking any more, and we all know how good make up effects and CGI can be to show a person getting killed, so the impact is lost.The faceless hoodies were a new scary idea, and how they stalked their victims was well filmed.THE BAD:Well, the film takes a big nose-dive once we've reached 75 minutes of good tension building and plot development, and seems to just fizzle out.There is no resolution at all here, no real motive for the attacks, no members of the gang identified. They just appear to get away with it.The teacher drives off to the hospital with his wounded daughter. The mother arrives at the school and is wandering around on her own. Most of the other teachers and pupils have been killed off. The two police staff who arrived to investigate are also dead.THAT'S IT!! END OF FILM.Quite what this is supposed to mean is a mystery.I'm wondering if the director and writer felt that today's thoughtless, selfish, and nasty society would just accept that there is no justice, no hope, and no end to today's violence, and therefore the ending was justified as showing - real life . Either that, or simply the money ran out and there was no way to film anything else, so the film was left to stand as it is.I don't know which, but I think most people will feel cheated here, and end up disliking what is a well made film that just needed a bit more work to make it excellent.
vengeance20 I found out about his one late last year! Was a tough DVD to find in hmv because of it's uninspiring name. But got it & watched it!A Pretty good film! A rare type of film at that! A British one as well making it stand out! The kills were intense! Like the security man being burned alive inside the wheelie bin. It was very Gory & pretty interesting not to mention Extremely Brutal!! The story line was OK. Not giving us much as to why the attack! Although following what happened from the very beginning, it seems like it was revenge for how the teacher treated on of his students! But it could have been explained abit more & gave us an idea as to why! Instead of us having to 'guess' what happened.The ending was a little disappointing! Considering that I wanted to know what the motivation was & if they got caught etc! But wasn't too bad, a good cliff hanger but it overall was a great film! 9/10
