Doff balances tones amazingly and directs visually striking scenes with gusto and confidence. His writing subverts expectations while remembering to be a story about humans, all the while being an exciting, nonstop laugh riot. All that makes the film more than worth watching. Then you add this truly outstanding cast who effortlessly embody their characters, and you have nothing short of a masterpiece. Read full review

That kind of all-around ineptitude puts the Get Duked! ensemble in the company of such classic Zucker and Abrahams movies as “Airplane” and “The Naked Gun,” and should appeal to lovers of old-fashioned lowbrow farce, provided they’re willing to accept a few lame hip-hop references.

Get Duked channels both Trainspotting and Deliverance to create a scattershot shotgun-blast of gags, gore and bedlam. Winningly performed by its young cast, it’s a (laminated) calling card for director Ninian Doff. Read full review

Doff may have thrown in a kitchen sink of clichés, but he knows exactly how to marry them together. The result is an endearingly uproarious affair. Read full review

A general lack of urgency are the main things holding Get Duked! back from being as good as it is promising. Read full review

Hyperactive editing, the jittery rap score and an obligatory acid trip scene grate, but Doff’s social commentary is sharp. Read full review

A too-familiar vibe hangs over much of the film, whose comic violence is nothing new and whose banter underwhelms, but the pic gets more fun as it goes, especially after an unlikely hallucinogen makes its entrance. Read full review

★ A dark, surreal comedy out of Scotland, brought by a cast & director who knew what they wanted & grabbed it. Explosive with visuals & rap, with a surprising twist of the sinister. Always wondered what the boys in Stand By Me would be like, drug fueled & hunted...

I really enjoyed this one, very funny. At times of course a bit dumb etc but typical for such type of comedies. Was lots of fun

¿Get Duked!' channels 'Trainspotting' and Taika Waititi tell a story of misfits that group together for an adventure of a lifetime. There are some good laughs in there and even a social commentary that may be very obvious, but it works in the end. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
