Plot

Jay (Ghetts) has big dreams, but his hopes are maimed by his allegiance to both his crew and Hackney crime boss Beverley (Sharon Duncan-Brewster). Jay sets about setting the grounds for his own organised crime ring with the help of Mustafa (Adam Deacon). Things are progressing well until Beverley discovers his treachery, and an ill-fated burglary in North London and a trip to Jamaica rips the crew apart. Whilst their operations are being watched by an undercover Police officer Gunz (Dylan Duffus), who has been used to integrate himself into the crew.[4][5]

Cast

Critical reception

The film received a 2/5 from The Guardian who described the film as "a near-fatal combination of creative ADHD and directorial ego yanks us away from these strengths and back towards these films’ dunderheaded raison d’etre: giving posturing musicians-not-quite-turned-actors the chance to engage in generally indifferent gunplay."[6]

Proposed sequel

In an interview, Femi stated that he'd like to do a third film as the original movie ended on a cliffhanger, he said that this one has to do well in the box office first.[7] On 25 January 2020, it was announced on The Intent's Instagram page that Scorcher will return as Hoods in the third film and Burna Boy will be joining the acting team.[8][9]
