Plot
Builders on a London site.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ken Loach's comedy-drama follows a group of builders on a London site and their precarious lives. Funny, rough and angry, with Robert Carlyle in an early lead, it is a lively look at working-class solidarity and exploitation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
