Must see caper comedy

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 1999)

This movie is a perfect example of the fact that American audiences don't pay enough attention to flicks that aren't either big action, big bucks, big stars, or American. Here you have a 'laugh your ass off' crime caper comedy that is every bit as funny as 'A Fish Called Wanda' and nobody goes to see it! Don't make that mistake! Four small timers save up their money to back their card shark mate in a card game that they don't know is rigged. He ends up losing not only their money but his dad's pub too. With a week to raise half a million pounds a plot develops which ends up with so many twists and turns and so many hilariously likeable thieves, murderers, drug producers, and knee breakers that it can't be explained in a short review.
