Danny Dyer's new film Marching Powder is savaged with 1-star review - as it's added to his roll call of 'more bad films than almost any other actor'

Writer-director Nick Love's film Marching Powder, about a very different brand of working-class Londoner, is no kind of treat.

But the detail I have always loved is that the Crewe gang called themselves ‘The Crewetons’, thinking it made them sound hard, not that it evoked little fried cubes of bread floating on top of a wholesome soup. Sadly he’s at it again in the unpromisingly titled Marching Powder, which seems him reuniting with writer-director, Nick Love, with whom he made The Football Factory and Goodbye Charlie Bright, a quarter of a century ago. I admire the loyalty but the end result, set in a world of middle-aged football hooligans powered by lager and cocaine, is like slipping back to the early days of Guy Ritchie… only nothing like as good.
