Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

From its opening scene - an arsenal of handguns gloatingly fetishised - this London gangsta flick offers a warped hymn to unregenerate criminality. Unlike Saul Dibb's Bullet Boy, which investigated black-on-black gun crime with purpose and poignancy, director Julian Gilbey and co-writer William Gilbey use their flimsy revenge scenario as an excuse for macho posturing, nonstop use of the c-word and deafening gunplay. By the end, the trail of carnage looks more like it's from the streets of Johannesburg or Detroit than our own capital.
