Looted is set in the post Thatcherite industrial wasteland of Hartlepool, Co. Durham, northern England.
It tells the story of Leo (Thomas Turgoose) and Rob (Charley Palmer Rothwell). A couple of twenty something friends who steal or loot cars to earn some extra money.
It has a large element of emotional screenplay as Rob has to care for his dying father Oswald, victim of an industrial injury that has contributed to lung cancer.
People will remember Turgoose as a child actor in films and TV such as This Is England (2006).
This film does veer away from a Ken Loach like social commentary with the caring angle of the screenplay.
First time director Rene van Pannevis delivers an interesting, gritty, emotional low budget feature.
The handheld camera work adds a sense of the low budget but also to the gritty locale.
