Critic Reviews:
- " While the idea of a crime thriller set in seedy London isn't an original thought, the way that Creevy approaches everything here is original, intelligent and involving. " – Richard Propes
- " Shifty is low-key, low budget, but high grade. It's a film about sitting and talking. And drug dealing. It builds slowly – some may want more action, but it has a surprisingly satisfying conclusion. " – Tony Macklin
- " The dialogue is a nice mix of Pinteresque menace, drug lingo, laddism and cracking one-liners. " – Cosmo Landesman
