In the long tradition of British crime movies this is a standout. Good old fashioned trust no-one and spare no-one type of thing. The only dissapointments are a couple of extremely cliched character (possibly to provide a bit of relief from the building tension. All they do is annoy you) and the plot which spirals into a chaotic swirl of who is betraying who, and who killed who. Don't worry if you can't decide either the ride along to the surprise climax is immensely enjoyable.

Not bad, but it probably had too many twists in the end, so came off a little ridiculous. I only hired it to see Eddie Izzard who is always entertaining and basically just plays himself anyway!

So consistantly formulaic that the bit that should have been the crucial plot twist was obvious before it even happened.

Great cast playing close relationships. Everyone has their own agenda and trust is a fragile thing. What a twisty turning first screenplay.
