Bigga then Ben

Staff Writer: DL Mullan

4 out of 5 Shovels
Two self-described pieces of Moscow scum find their way to London. In the city, Cobakka and Spiker discover that ripping off Londoners is harder then they believed possible.

After a stint as would-be thieves, the two immigrants experience the loneliness and isolation of their journey. Spiker drowns his sorrow’s in alcohol and drugs. Cobakka finds a job as a security guard and girlfriend. In the end, the two friends go their separate paths.

Low budget, independent film reveals the misconceptions, urban legends, and hardship of illegal immigrants. Some situations were quirky and fun for the audience.

Update 6/22: DVD release in UK and Win Ben Barnes
