  What utter rubbish. Cannot imagine what so many fine actors saw in this to agree to take part, unless they were in dire need of the money. No plot to speak of ... read more »

  Absolutely Dire
  
  Really poor storyline but plenty of foul language. This was a complete waste of a talented cast. Don't waste 90 minutes of your time on this.

  I normally love Ray Winstone films but this one just seemed to be full of vulgar swearing and nothing else.
