Shopping is a 1994 British action crime drama film written and directed by Paul 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.
Billy is released from prison, but the police are sure he will be back. 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 Anderson was "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." Alistair Lawrence of Common Sense Media gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, describing it as a "low-budget but slick ode to self-destructive teens...", praising the action scenes and for having "a style and sense of place that so many other movies lack."
The film opened on 24 June 1994 on 26 screens in the United Kingdom and grossed ã33,277 in its opening weekend.
It grossed $3,061 in the United States and Canada.
