An outrageous comedy about addiction, violence, and happy endings, MARCHING POWDER sees the long-anticipated reunion of acclaimed director Nick Love and long-term collaborator and national treasure Danny Dyer. There's romance, there's comedy, but this ain't no 'rom-com'... Set in the irreverent and profane world of cult classic The Football Factory, the film follows the story of Jack Jones (Danny Dyer), an ageing, drug-taking football hooligan who feels increasingly irrelevant in today's society as he struggles to keep his family together. Hooked on drugs and adrenaline; and struggling to resist the pull of his firm of fellow football fans, Jack is arrested after some violent matchday exploits and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison. Juggling his marriage, his mates, his hard-nut bully of a father-in-law and his unhinged 25-year-old brother-in-law, Jack tries to get his life back on-track but his world slowly starts to spiral out of control. Can Jack overcome his inner demons or is he heading for jail?

It’s left to Leonidas, in the only substantial female part, to steal the show. She plays Dani with an easygoing naturalism that bestows some much needed soul upon the project. Go to Full Review

Marching Powder is broad, it’s unsubtle, and its cheerfully nonjudgemental attitude to drugs has got it a rare 18 certificate... But this film has got energy and chutzpah and there are one or two laughs Go to Full Review

2/5
Much as it aims to shock by reviving taboo language and jokes about sitting on Gary Glitter’s lap, it’s more toothless than dangerous. Go to Full Review

For all the foul-mouthed aggro, the predominant tone is one of mollycoddled smugness. Go to Full Review

When Dani and Jack are exchanging C-word barbs the film is laugh-out-loud funny. Go to Full Review
