Shooters is a 2001 crime film directed by Dan Reed for Suspect Device Films.
It stars Desmond Baylissis as "Dezzie",[1] and is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters.
[2] 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.
Shooters was first broadcast in December 2000 on Channel 4 as part of its Cutting Edge series.
The Liverpool-born musician John Murphy co-wrote the score.
