Jorgescarlisle On the face of this film, it starts out looking like a UK version of Deliverance (sans the banjo duel). About halfway through the film it develops into something quite different.Some of the bad reviews here have commented that this was a poor Boxing film. It does have ONE boxing scene, but that doesn't make it a boxing film. Another reviewer made a similar comment about motorcycles—look people, just because there's an element of something in a film doesn't mean that film is about that one thing for which you seem to be looking. Honestly I think those critics should stick to their day job because obviously they don't know the first thing about film.This is not a big budget production, but I think the final product is on par with most of what's coming out of Hollywood these days—no worse and no better. It won't win any awards for cinematography, but neither does it abuse the camera in trying to tell the story as do so many low budget films.There was a bit more gore than suits my taste, more than I thought the story needed, but still it was a decent watch. If you are looking for a boxing film, or a motorcycle film, or Deliverance UK style, you will be disappointed. If you go into it without those expectations, you might actually enjoy it.

Ashley_Turner I don't understand the bad reviews on this film maybe the wrong crowd are watching this, if your looking for a Hollywood style "fighter" big budget & big stars this is not for you, This film is a great movie for any British Indie film fan. Myself rate this film high along with Rise of the foot soldier, Dead Mans Shoes, This is England, Eden Lake, Bronson. If you like those films you will love this. The characters are great, The fight scenes and effects are pretty immense and realistic compared to the usual Hollywood style scenes (yawn). Yes its a low budget film welcome to "indie". I hope more people will watch this film and see how original and very British this film is. If you love British cinema go and see this it never gets boring, and your always wondering what is going to happen next. The climax doesn't let you down either. I say more like this & less of Hollywood trash please!

Silly_Sausage_69 Travellers has just entered into the list of the top 10 worst films so far ever viewed. 1. The scenario makes no sense. 2. When it rains no one gets wet, not even the ground. 3. The 'psycho city boy' is unbelievable. 4. The romance between Dan and the gypsy chick is tainted with puerile vacuous nonsense. 6. How can anyone box for that long....? 7. This film does'nt deserve 10 lines of critic. 8. They don't know how to make the blood look realistic...9. The sound was no good. 10. I wonder if real gypsies were consulted into the making of this film... Let's not waste anymore time about this failure. On par with 'Adrift'...Well done with the low budget they had though.

Callum87 Straight off the bat 'Travellers' is a cheap looking and sounding affair. If that isn't your bag then save your time watching. If you can't see this was shot on digital video from the off then you probably need glasses. Should that ruin your enjoyment? No... But the weaker parts of the script, inconsistent acting from some of the players and occasional plot hole may.However, stick with it. If these guys made this with nothing they certainly end it with something, something good.The second half of this movie had me glued to the seat. I'd got used to the shaky cam style and low quality audio and by the time the fight sequence kicks off (one of the best fight sequences I've seen in UK film for a long time) this film makes some impact.The fight itself is expertly handled, no silly Guy Ritchie over stylisation or edits so tight that lose the geography of the scene. This was straight, smacks to the face. The authenticity of the fight seemed spot on, and very real, to a point where I questioned if moments weren't?The Travellers are handled stereotypically at first but to good effect, as horror villains then their characters slowly pulled back, showing a much more complex sense of honour and brotherhood within their group. You will route for them before the end. This is guaranteed by the behaviour of city- boy nut case Andy Baxtor, played well by Tom Geoffrey.The lead, former gypsy turned city-boy Chris (Shane Sweeney) is a likable character despite his buried desire to hit people, and is also performed well and subtly despite the scripts sledge-hammer approach to story telling.It's the the brother and sister act of Traveller Martin (Dean Jagger) and his sister Lucy (Celia Muir) who steal the show. Considering the mixed bag of talent on screen its a small blessing they had these actors holding it together. The screen presence of Jagger is captivating.Director Kris McManus holds it all together and really gains control of his movie during act 3.I expect this lot are new to film-making, and it shows at times, but I hope they continue to do what there doing. just maybe spend a little more time and a lot more money!I'd give this a better rating if the production value had been just a little higher. Worth a watch.*****
