After years in the Royal Army, PTSD-plagued Tommy (Jamie B. Chambers) returns to his coastal hometown - to find it overrun by drugs. He also meets his ex again, Sally (Eloise Lovell Anderson) - but she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, not since he left her overnight to go to war. Sally's now part of Bagman's (Jon Campling) touring group of Morris dancers - which is of course a cover, as her group are a group of vigilantes fighting drug violence wherever they're called to. And it just happens that they've been called back here to trace down missing Kirsty (Lauren Scott-Berry), who was last seen with drug kingpin Frank (Ross O'Hennessy). And while tracking her down, Bagman and company, all highly trained martial artists, take out as many of Frank's men as they can ... until they almost lose a battle against Frank's muscle-packed chef ('Tiny' Iron), and if it wasn't for Tommy, a well-trained fighter himself from his army days, Sally and a few others might have ended up dead. And since one of their ranks (Shah Hussain) has been hospitalized, Bagman's happy to invite Tommy into their fold. Now Tommy's happy to fight for a good cause, and a time everything goes great - but then Frank grows wise to the organisation, has Bagman killed, and then has Tommy and Sally taken hostage at Bagman's funeral to challenge the organisation in open fight ...

Now I will admit to it, when it comes to mere storytelling, Morris Men is a bit jumpy, and especially in the first half hour or so is confusing rather than anything else. And weirdly enough, that confusion is mirrored in some unnecessarily shaky camerawork throughout. That said though, Morris Men is still a movie that's well worth a watch, it moves at a very brisk pace, features many an exciting action scene, and the idea of a group of vigilantes posing as Morris dancers is almost ingenious. And that the ensemble cast is very relatable and well able to carry the story only helps making this one a pretty entertaining ride.
