Political refugees are given allotments as part of a scheme to help them fit into the local community. Reaction is mixed amongst the allotment holders of Blacktree Road, ruled with a rod of iron by committee chairman and ex-cop Big John, who bullies his son, known as Little John. Mobile phone company employees Carla, a go-getting bitch, and her dim young assistant, Mike, arrive at the allotments, offering five grand for one of the plots to make way for a phone mast. It is obvious that the sacrifice will be made by one of the new-comers. John is not keen for it to be Iranian Ali, because he is a qualified doctor, who gives free advice.

Not bad
I recently saw the movie at the cast and crew screening. For a start, its an average movie thats more like a television movie rather than a film made for the cinema. I felt the film lacked any cinematic quality sadly as do most British films. The acting was okay in places, Benidict Wongs performance was a good and safe performance holding the film together. I thought some of the accents done by the actors were woeful and laboured as were a lot of the performances. Its a shame to see some of our well known TV actors struggling to deliver a performance worthy of a movie, most of the time the actors were over acting and finding little connection with the piece. Phillip Jackson, Eddie Marsan and Joanna Scanlan all give a good account of themselves as well as a great performance by SARAH HADLAND and her assistant played by ROLAND MANOOKIAN who only feature in the movie briefly. Sadly i believe its another British film that will struggle at the box office, due to a lackluster cast, and mediocre direction.
