Review

 

At thirty five, Ray's learned the tricks and done the time. Now he's a face - a villain to be reckoned with and definitely not to be crossed - ready for the blag, the big score that'll really set him and his team up. Although the job goes smooth and sweet, the take doesn't scratch the three million the gang had it figured for. And when somebody starts thieving from the thieves, and people start getting blown away, Ray's got some serious thinking to do before the traitor - or the law - gets to him next...

This is an alright film and would have been excellent if I had seen it when it came out but 10 years later you kinda pick holes in the film in terms of could that really happen.
I feel it gets away with it in the beginning but slowly becomes more unbelievable nearer the end.
This film cant touch HEAT but worth watching.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars A Socialist Crime Film?

A great thriller with a strong cast (Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone and Phil Davis) with a strong undercurrent of socialism that doesn't overwhelm the action (some terrific scenes especially the robbery and a street gun battle that turns into a mini-Heat). Great acting, great direction from Antonia Bird, great soundtrack and more to think about than the average crime film. If only someone would issue the Bird/Carlyle TV series Looking After JoJo on DVD
