Have to agree with yinster, thought this was rotten on many levels. I really don't expect to see any of these people bar Will poulter on the big screen again...

Thomas Kretschmann was slumming it in this movie so I'd expect him to be back on the big screen sooner rather than later ;) ...

Haven't placed the "eye-candy" yet, but she was either in Hollyoaks or Brookside I'm sure.

She (Emma Rigby) was in Hollyoaks...also made appearances in Endless Love (which I remember) & The Counsellor (which I don't)...

    I am very surprised I watched the whole movie, as it seemed to have few redeeming features. Horrible characters, silly plot, ugly faces (including Emma Rigby the apparent eye candy). Guess just wanted to see how silly the plot or how low the gutter rats would go for them to 'get away with it'.

    Even Will Poulter was crap. Mumbling French impersonation. Horrible texan accent wtf?

    The few pluses -the script felt suitably gutterish to suit the characters, and at least their seemed to be some substance being thrown around in the form of facts about the subject matter. Some much needed humour helps it chunder towards to its preposterous ending. And yet I DID stay to that end, so there must have been something worth seeing in it to make me stay.

    The message of the movie appears to be, don't spend your credit cards on these four losers. So yeah if that means 'dont p*y to see this milarky' then its very clever metaphor in the movie. The only clever thing about it, I would add.

    Pretty ordinary stuff, I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised or failing that see a real stinker, but even with some of the clunky dialogue and bad acting its just a bit mediocre and pedestrian.

    Will can do so much better 5/10

    As mentioned earlier this was just like a 'hollyoaks later' episode, glad it was free and glad it was a short film 5/10

    It's a bad film, but at least it's got the decency to be pretty quick and straightforward about it. Feels destined to turn in DVD supermarket bargain bins.

    I shall have to concur with the consensus above.

    The individual elements were not very good (acting, script, directing etc) and it feels quite amateurish for a heist movie but I could switch my brain off and let it wash over me. 4/10.

    Spot on review, I didn't hate it either it's just not very good.

    However, careful what you say on here, Gilbey may be watching and he may have had a drink or two!! :x

    Another reviewer got a nasty comment on her review from the director. He then left another comment today saying he was sorry and that he'd been drunk at the time.
