An UK film made in the era under the shadow of AIDS epidemic. Apart from Jason Flemyng's occasionally over the top acting, it was still a positive & optimistic flick in the same genre.
A more-than-watchable cliche. The happy paradox of ``Alive & Kicking'' is that it portrays the depth of our loss from the AIDS epidemic and still remains a persuasive advocate for hope.
Strangely feel good, given that the lead character is dieing of Aids related illnesses...
