Story
A new type of gang has taken over the troubled violent inner cities of the UK. Tired of hopeless government initiatives and bad policing, younger more focused activists respond by creating their own community, gaining a formidable reputation protecting their neighbourhoods from social and moral collapse.
When a meeting is called by Moses(Kevin McKidd),and attended by the Walves, the Angels the Pumas, the Eels and the Purifiers, the idea of uniting all of the gangs as one single all –powerful confederation is presented.
Through the eyes of THE PURIFIERS- a collection of smart, sassy, highly skilled exponents of Tae Kwon Do-we see how this proposal goes against the grain of everything they stand for. The rest of the gangs realise tat t make the new way a real possibility, they must get rid of THE PURIFIERS.
The story becomes a gauntlet of ambushes and spectacular set pieces where gang leader John (Gordon Alexander) has to call on of his experience to get his troops safely back home.
An explosive volatile unknown terrain faces THE PURIFIERS as their journey becomes an emotional and physical rollercoaster.
Set against a backdrop of modern Britain where gang identity is forged through a fusion of music, fashion and karate, the film tips its hat to specific genre films such as ‘The Warriors’ and ‘The Wanderers’ as well as the more recent ‘The Fast and the Furious’.
The gangs are made up of young men and women who take a Zen like pride in their community as well as their appearance. Rather than being simple thugs, they have a reason to exist beyond simple extortion and exploitation. . |
