This movie was disappointing because of the story (which I didn't understand), the first act and some of the characters.
Some of the characters were unforgettable because of the lack of scenes that they were in. I didn't like the story because it seemed rush from the opening scene in Jamaica, then going to London to learn the English lifestyle, then to the Cricket game in the final act.
I'd recommend this movie to people age 17 and above, this is because of the characters and the language used in the film.
