Shooters is a 2001 crime film directed by Dan Reed for Suspect Device Films. It stars Desmond Baylissis as "Dezzie", and is set in Liverpool and used local criminals as actors depicting the lives of local 'gangsters. 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.
