Shopping is a 1994 British action crime drama film written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, in his directorial debut, about a group of British teenagers who indulge in joyriding and ramraiding. It was the first major leading role for actor Jude Law, who first met his co-star and future wife Sadie Frost on the set of the film. [3]
The film was located at Trellick Tower, Golborne Road, London. The film shows the Balfron Tower in scenes where cars are pulling into the underground garage. IMDB mentions the Trellick tower but not the Balfron tower, whilst comparing the film with images from google maps street view facility shows Balfron to be the filming location.
Billy is released from prison, but the police are sure he will be back. And indeed as soon as his girlfriend picks him up they ram & steal a BMW, leading to an extensive chase, with Billy taunting the police to catch him.
Channel 4 wrote a mixed review of Shopping, stating that "borrowing from Blade Runner and Gotham City to build his vision of a country divided. While a lack of subtlety clouds his intentions, the director delivers a slick, diverting story that will probably be best remembered as Jude Law's first movie." [4]
