freestyle

Apart from Arinze Kene, the male lead, the stilted performances here, are enough to put anyone off.

Shabbily filmed and poorly acted, its lone positive is a compellingly awful turn by Alfie (brother of Lily) Allen, whose bumbling, velour-tracksuited date-rapist is the sleaziest thing you(TM)ll see this year.

Freestyle is a string of flashily edited musical montages of East London youth playing basketball, hung on the flimsy framework of a sub-Grange-Hill-quality script.

Although the acting is generally closer to Grange Hill than Drury Lane, Kene shows bags of potential.
