Top Boy's Ashley Walters makes his highly anticipated return to the estate in the year's most controversial and talked about box office smash-hit. Still top boy and running a lucrative, underground drug business with his new gang, for Walters' things finally look to be on the up. But in this world things rarely stand still for long and as a new threat to the hierarchy emerges from the streets he'll have to go further than ever before to maintain order. Compared by critics to Kidulthood, and brought to you by the Studio that created Anuvahood, Sket will take you on a blisteringly powerful journey into Britain's darkest underbelly.

If you take a break from pondering how much it does/doesn't feel real and take your time enjoying the admittedly monotonous but still very much hyped soundtrack + the grime and despair of London's streets, you can be quite satisfied in the end. Surprisingly, it doesn't get bogged down anywhere, the pleasant running time passes by in one delight and there is no shortage of extremely brutal scenes either. It would probably be slightly ridiculous to mention the excellent Fish Tank in connection with this film, but let's just say that Sket captures at least a quarter of the atmosphere of the London suburbs and also presents this area in a very unpleasant and strident way. But it's still a class below the more genre-compatible Kidulthood or Adulthood – somewhere around the level of the also British sci-fi flick Shank.
