City Rats probe London at East End Film Fest
By John Hill on April 29, 2009 9:34 AM | Tagged with: 28 Days Later, Batman Begins, City
Rats, Danny Dyer, East End Film Festival, EastEnders, film, Kidulthood, Layer Cake, Ray
Panthaki, Tamer Hassan, The Business, The Football Factory, Urban Way Productions
Proud Londoners such as Tamer Hassan, Ray
Panthaki and Danny Dyer are exposing London's
dark heart with a new film.
A different perspective
City Rats meshes eight lives in the capital in a "Pulp
Fiction-style blend", which made its European debut
at the East End Film Festival.
Shot amidst the famous sights of East London, director Steven M Kelly's film
features characters such as Jim, who lays the groundwork for a possible
suicide by dropping melons from his office roof.
New Cross-born Tamer Hassan, who plays Jim, admitted he adopted a new
persona to the characters he'd played in films such as The Business, Layer
Cake and The Football Factory.
He said: "Jim is an ex-boxer who struck his wife in a mad rage three years
ago. She left him and he couldn't deal with it so he's been on a downward
spiral ever since.
"I went method on this one. Everyone's used to seeing Tamer in good suits,
looking a bit GQ, but I put on a little weight, grew a bit of a beard and wore
bad suits.
"I'd get drunk the night before shooting and turn up with a hangover and
depressed. It was a tough one.
"For me, it was a career move. I get sent a lot of scripts where I'm asked to
be the villain or a bit of a brute, but I always wanted to have a go at being
something else."

The film appeared as part of the eighth East End Film Festival, which
showcases work from local filmmakers until tomorrow (April 30).
While Tamer has appeared in Hollywood movies such as Batman Begins, he
is still keen to keep producing films in his home city.

Co-star Ray Panthaki sported a distinctive blond Mohawk for his role as
frustrated artist Dean, who becomes obsessed with a prostitute living next
door.
Ray, who played Ronny Ferreira in EastEnders and appeared in films such as
28 Days Later, claims viewers will notice a distinctive East End flavour in the
film.

He said: "It's very gritty and has a mish mash of those wonderful characters
that you find in East London.
"It's set over 24 hours over the Summer Solstice, which I learned is the time
of year that the most crimes and suicides take place."
Columnists
Ray is also one of the figures behind the film's co-producers Urban Way
Productions, an issue-based company which has released films such as
Kidulthood.
He is currently working with the BBC on a project called Who Cares?, which
explores the plight of children looking after their terminally-ill parents, and
is planning a film on the Asian community in East London.

IT’S hard to spot a cult classic before it’s
been released, but this film has enough
underhand shenanigans, interesting
characters and gritty happenings for it to
Tamer Hassan makes his way across
find a niche with those who like their films
Millennium Bridge in City Rats
on the edgy side.
Laid out a little like Robert Altman’s study of a weekend in Los Angeles, City Rats tells the
stories of a seemingly disparate group of people, all with a heap of trouble on their
shoulders. Director Steve Kelly gradually reveals how they are linked and what becomes of
them.
These personal stories cover a vast range and individually would perhaps be enough to
warrant a film of their own. We meet the middle-aged depressive who is considering suicide
yet does not quite know how to do it, a prostitute trying to earn a living, an artist looking for
inspiration, a recently released convict with a dark secret, the mother searching for
information on her missing son, and the brothers with sex on their minds. However, the bitesized stories are so well crafted that the lack of background on each individual does not
matter – viewers are credited with enough gumption to fill in the gaps themselves.
The film takes huge chunky bites out of a whole load of unapproachable issues. One story
that stands out it that of a gay man? who is deaf, unable to speak and has autism. His
brother wants to help him be sexually fulfilled, but this raises issues about consent.
Above all, this film is about the teeming metropolis of modern London, and the fact that
every one of us who shares these streets has a story of our own to tell.
This is no city recognisable to those who voted for Boris and enjoy a Marks and Spencer
ready meal in front of a Richard Curtis flick. Instead, we see different stories of real
Londoners.
At times, it feels hard to follow, but it all makes sense at the end. And what carries it forward
are the incredible performances from all concerned.
It would be unfair to single out any particular individual – the cast of Danny Dyer, Tamer Hassan, Myanna Buring, Ray Panthaki, Natasha Williams and Susan Lynch all excel in their
quirky roles. Tough, watchable, thoughtful – City Rats has that stamp of a future cult classic.

AMBITIOUS: City Rats reveals a trite kaleidoscope of

Tragic Heath Ledger's final film
to be screened at Cannes Film
Festival
The characters in City Rats certainly seem to gain little pleasure from life.
TRAGIC actor Heath Ledger's last film
will be shown at the Cannes film
festival....
The lost souls include alcoholic ex-con Pete (Danny Dyer), suicidal businessman Jim (Tamer
Hassan), sexually confused Olly (Kenny Doughty) and Carol (Natasha Williams), a woman who
fears the worst about her missing son.
Inevitably some stories are more compelling than others in this trite kaleidoscope of loneliness and
longing with the best performance coming from Susan Lynch as Gina, a sex worker with leg
braces and a wry sense of humour.

City Rats
Danny Dyer joins a host of young
British talent in this interconnected
tale of eight lost souls in London.
Dyer plays Pete, an ex-drug dealer
who is stalked by the mother of
a missing boy he knew from his
dealing days. It also stars Ray
Panthaki (Ronny from Easties) and
James Lance. A bit slow in places,
but stick with it. •••
