Kenneth (who likes to call himself Kay) begins to realise he's just another wannabe bad boy... even less than a loser in fact. After quitting his job at Laimsbury's, Kay vows to become a respected gangster... or cry trying. A pulls-no-punches, coming-of-age story, centering on one directionless hopeless "shotter", who finds his true worth in the face of urban adversity.
Patchy urban comedy that misses more targets than it hits.
Painfully unamusing and ridiculous.
It's a film that it's hard to imagine even the target audience warming to.
The know-your-limits message clearly went unheeded by all involved in making the film.
If hoodie horrors thrive on tabloid fears, then Anuvahood pulls down the hood to reveal a daft, unthreatening kid underneath.
The lighter side of youth crime: urban film spoofs
