I would think that this film has been overshadowed probably due to The Bank Job being released only a couple of months previous.
There’s a bunch of familiar faces from films such as Lock Stock, Snatch, The Business etc and even a bloke from Eastenders. Your usual cockney lot.
That being said the acting is spot on and the dialogue is funny.
Gotta love low budget British films, there’s a hell of a lot more of them recently and its a welcome change to the usual big budget yankee tosh.
It is just a basic stick-up job with lots of shouting and screams at the beginning, some ludicrous device about how to get money out of a City of London bank (Sure banks have with some 70 million have no motion detectors…) in the middle, and an OK third part where it all goes wrong.
have fun!
