This British crime story has a delightfully dangerous premise: An ex-army colonel angered at being let after 25 years of service to his country, decides to fight back and put together what could be considered a nice severance package for himself. Armed with information he learned on the job, he puts together an impressive crew who may be gentlemen, but they are certainly not above a little bank robbery to reward themselves for all that proper behavior. LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN makes viewers want them to pull it off, but the authorities may already be on to their scheme.
