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.
