This film poster does an excellent job at revealing the film's genre, from the colours used to the characters shown, everything about it shouts gritty British social realism. The general colours of the poster are dark, grey, 'smokey' colours which makes the bold, red title stand out massively. The title appears above the six characters, aligned in the middle making it impossible to miss. Faded into the background 'sky', images of what looks like young gang members are briefly visible thus hinting a possible theme of crime. No reviews or ratings are displayed which is fairly rare for a film poster of the social realism genre. The narrative isn't very clear however the strong use of characters, especially the line of young children behind the six leading characters, presents a brief idea of setting and working class themes. Like most film posters, the production credits are shown at the bottom and the acting credits are shown above the title. The six characters all break the fourth wall too which comes across as very effective too.
