Kidulthood (2006) - Menhaj Huda

This film has so much hype, that it was difficult for me to imagine it being as good as it's legend suggests. Luckily, it didn't disappoint. Noel Clarke is a tremendous actor when written so well, and by himself as well, but Adam Deacon is the obvious breakout star, yet it still took him another six years to win a coveted BAFTA: the Rising Star award.
