Excellent combination of plot twists and dry humour

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2000)

This movie is an excellent example of British independent film making at it's best. Four very amateur criminals find themselves in a desperate situation when, following a poker game, they owe a London mobster half a million pounds, and have only one week to pay it. The plot starts to twist wildly from there, involving 20-odd characters including villains, drug-dealers and a traffic warden. Along the way, some of the funniest lines ever uttered in a `Crime Thriller' are fired at the audience in dry-wit fashion - highlighting that the script is one of the stars of this film. Oh, and the ending - is unforgettable.
