Well what happened to the "Poms" their movies are really going downhill. Oh well might be OK to some, but to me it was just all about sex & money and poor acting. Followed the plot but just wasn't edged enough, it was made pretty boring right through till last 20 minutes.

Wow ! What a surprisingly good British crime drama/black comedy, in the tradition of 'Lock, Stock & Two smoking barrels'; 'Snatch' and 'Layer Cake'. If you liked any of those movies you will definitely like this. Clever plot, as you would expect with British crime dramas. Did not know any of the actors names but did know some of the faces from some British TV crime series. Not that it needed a Daniel Craig or a Jason Statham, as the acting is good anyway. All the action takes place between central London and Southend on Sea. Starts off with each character being introduced in relation to a hard boiled sweet (it makes sense when you see it) and builds slowly but steadily, with an ever increasing body count, as numerous people try to steal from 'Shrewd Eddie'. Fantastic twist at the end and certainly one I did not see coming. Highly recommend this for lovers of crime dramas of the British variety.
