Plot Summary
Determined to kill his wife's lover, a middle-class accountant (Steven Mackintosh, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) attempts to purchase a .38 from an inner-city crackhead (Ashley Walters, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), unaware the gun actually belongs to a psychotic drug lord (Andy Serkis, The Lord of the Rings) who'd kill to get his weapon back. Gritty and suspenseful, Sugarhouse is a "furious and frightening film" (Jason Solomons, The Observer), an edgy urban thriller about deception, drug deals and a gun to die for.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Three good actors get hijacked by a talky, pointless script.
Rotten: In Gary Love's determinedly gritty Brit-crim movie, three good actors chase around a script that keeps promising more than it delivers.
Rotten: What justified filming Dominic Leyton's play Collision is hard to see, but the decisions taken in opening it out are what truly wreck Gary Love's misbegotten attempt to do so.
Rotten: Dominic Leyton's script from his play starts as a flicker of fancy words and ends as a verbose fireball consuming all reality.
