1. Character Backgrounds

2. Archie Archie is the leader of the group that the film is based around. Played by Dev, he is a hard-hearted and cold blooded man, who’ll do anything to get his money. Brought up in the east end of London, he learnt his trade on the streets. At 14, with no place to live and no money to live off, he joined a gang, using them to his advantage in order to gain a reputation. Years later, he gained underground notoriety for the murder of two off duty police officers. This new found fame helped him create his own gang, with people who were willing to follow his orders. These loyal followers are Charlie, Cooper, Cook and Marco.

3. Charlie ‘ Ladies man’ Charlie is played by Isaac Woods. He is Archie’s nephew, and was brought up by him after his parents thought he’d be better off with his uncle Archie. Charlie brings no extra physical aspect to the boys, but his charm with the ladies, and the men, wraps up deals with ease. He gets some stick from the rest for not being physically involved, but Charlie would much rather him save his face then to potentially damage it. He is arguably Archie’s ‘golden boy’ due to the family links which tie them together.

4. Cook Cookie, acknowledged as Cook most of the time, is always sniffing lines every other day, but can afford the habit. He is admired by Archie for his ability to get imported goods into the country, as well as the comedy he provides for the group. The Irish in him makes him a bit of a nutter, combine that with when he’s off his head on pills or down the pub knocking them back, he’s what the Al-Qaeda would call ‘dangerous’.

5. Cooper Emile Libock portrays Eason Cooper , who is the man with all the links. Whether a deal is to be dealt in North London, or a fight is to be fought in East London, Cooper will know about it. Brought in to the gang specifically for this reason by Archie, Cooper spreads the name of Archie and his boys all throughout London. He is also the powerhouse of the group, as he is always at the front group wherever they travel, serving to protect from whoever dares try to cross Archie’s boys. His criminal record is pretty impressive, including numerous drug possessions and attempted murder. This follows him wherever he goes, but in the safety of Archie, a criminal record means nothing.

6. Marco Marco is the I.T specialist of the group. A large amount of Archie’s money has come from online fraud dealings, all masterminded by Marco. Played by Kalim Badi, Marco was hand-picked by Archie to be join him in London, going as far as trafficking him into the country to help Archie make millions. His English may be limited, but his computer skills are outstanding.
