Acclaimed British director Shane Meadow's (Dead Man's Shoes, This is England) assured debut feature is a tale of petty crime in the suburbs of Nottingham which stars Meadows himself as Jumbo, leader of a ragtag band of small time crooks. Featuring energetic handheld camera work, brilliant comic dialogue and a host of ironic film references Small Time clearly reveals Meadow's flair for larger-than-life characters and ability to extract accomplished, semi-improvised performances from talented non-professionals.
