How about 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later? Both cover how society has broken down in an isolated UK due to a virus.

Have you watched both seasons of Top Boy, would definitely fit in with the Broken Britain theme.

Top Boy was excellent but I had no idea there was a second season! Thank you!

There are rumours of a third after it got canclled. Drake & Skepta are apparently trying to get it going.

Wild Bill

I luruuurved Wild Bill. Charlie Creed Miles is awesome and massively underrated. The end brought me close to tears. Also, it's very much a kind of western genre wise, set in modern Britain.

Fantastic recommendation lads!

How about Youngers? Has anyone seen that?

Looks like it could fall in line with the films in this thread but from the trailer it looks like Hollyoaks meets Anuvahood.

Thank you so much for that list!! I hadn't heard of half of them and the two i've watched so far have been great.

Sankari · 14 Sep 2016 at 17:45

It's a good list.

trentlad · 14 Sep 2016 at 23:47

"Bloody Kids", if you don't mind going back to 1980.

Fast Girls was surprisingly good. Another job well done for Noel Clarke.

iBoy is decent and on Netflix. Another example of fitting the broken Britain theme (check the first post for the definition/examples) and it's also a little like Watchdogs - The Movie.

Fish Tank ?

trentlad · 16 Mar 2017 at 05:50

Definitely!

What about The Firm? The one with Gary Oldman in it.
I know it's older than your criteria, but I think it's worth a watch.... even if it's about football hooligans.

trentlad · 17 Mar 2017 at 03:05

Sorry. Great flick however.

I know it's mentioned in the OP, but Ill Manors is the most 'Broken Britain' film I've ever seen, I doubt it could be topped.

trentlad · 17 Mar 2017 at 23:13

Tell me about it. I think Kidulthood and Adulthood come incredibly close.
