I saw a poster yesterday and thought it was just someone having a laugh with Photoshop. It is a real thing? Is it porn it has porn vibes.

A tale of love, intrigue, crime, passion, espionage and more importantly a veritable work of art. Transcending zeitgeist to join the pantheon of the gods in eternity.
Gatwick Gangsters feature film is about a greedy fat cat banker who borrows over night £100,000,000 of a Crime Boss’s money. In a 24 hour window the money gets hacked by an Arab King who is a terrorist. His plot to blow up London’s Gatwick Airport is foiled by the Mi6.

This synopsis is even better:

The plot centres on a scam set up by banker to the mob, Shampagne, who meets her match when the ‘King of El Sahara’ flips the scam on her.
Shampagne has borrowed £100million from the London mob but the king has hacked her account and stolen the money.
Mishaps ensue as the mob-boss of Gatwick Manor is left penniless and a number of gold deals and robberies go wrong. Add in an atomic bomb to the mix and the action is relentless, even if the acting is very tongue-in-cheek.

I don’t like to namedrop too much, but my good personal friend Paul Sinha from the Chase (added me on Facebook) posted it on Facebook. I immediately knew it was art that the connoisseurs of Drowned In Sound dot com would appreciate.

I’ve met a few of these gangster types, when I worked on a paper in Essex they cropped up occasionally. Met the son of a guy involved in the Rettendon murders (Rettendon murders - Wikipedia - it’s been turned into loads films of this genre) who had gone straight and was now a youth pastor. Another guy my colleague went to interview in a graveyard of all places, he had loads of face tattoos and was carrying a machete, can’t even remember what the story was about.

My entire life I’ve been waiting for a film that situates Goodfellas (one of my favourite films) in Kent (my homeland) :heart_eyes:
