Johnny Was

Fast-moving action-drama

JOHNNY WAS is a powerful, multi-racial thriller set in a violent London under-world turning in upon itself. It’s the story of a clash between London’s two most dangerous cultures – the Yardies, Jamaican drug gangs with a penchant for firepower, and a dissident Irish revolutionary splinter group whose leader escapes from Brixton prison.

The film stars Vinnie Jones, Patrick Bergin, Samantha Mumba, Lennox Lewis, Roger Daltrey and Eriq La Salle. It was released by FirstLook in the USA and Sony in the UK, winning six Best Feature awards from film festivals world-wide.
