Synopsis:

The Film is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters . The short film is most notable for having been completely unscripted aside from a brief outline, each scene was improvised and ad-libbed by the actors themselves. Shooters was first broadcast in December 2000 on Channel 4 as part of their Cutting Edge series. World-renowned Liverpool-born musician John Murphy, co-wrote the score.

Shooters is a drama documentary film, directed by Dan Reed for Suspect Device Films. The film is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters'. It is most notable for having been completely unscripted apart from a brief outline; each scene was improvised and ad-libbed by the actors themselves.

With a cast of non-actors, drawn from the very world which the film portrays, Shooters is not just another British genre gangster film - it's a film about real British gangsters. Semi-improvised on the streets of Liverpool, Dan Reed's drama brings the true face of Britain's underworld to light. If Ken Loach made a gangster film it might look something like this.
