Synopsis:
A successful cocaine dealer, who has
earned a respected place among England's Mafia elite, plans an early retirement
from the business. However, big boss Jimmy Price hands down a tough assignment:
find Charlotte Ryder, the missing rich princess daughter of Jimmy's old pal
Edward, a powerful construction business player and gossip papers socialite.
Complicating matters are two million pounds' worth of Grade A ecstasy, a brutal
neo-Nazi sect and a whole series of double crossings. Not knowing who he can
trust, he has to use all his 'savvy', 'telling' and skills which make him one of
the best, to escape his own. The ultimate last job, a love interest called
Tammy, and an international drug ring threaten to draw him back into the 'cake
mix'. But, time is running out and the penalty will endure a lifetime...
Brian's Rating:
C : A nice ending, but its tough to maintain interest to get to it. Also,
some thick English accents make it hard to follow some of the dialog. It was
done on purpose, but the scene transitions were abrupt at times, and I didn't
like the style much.
The
Freak's Rating: D+ : I think Brian is a tad kind on the ending.
Though it fit the storyline, I liked the second alternate ending much better.
Had that been the primary, it might have ventured into the C range. For me
this was stylized junk. It is putting a Guy Ritchie style to a horrible
script. I agree the accents are quite heavy at times, even making me have
to back up the scene to hear it again. Also, Sienna Miller is thrown in
for eye candy, but has few lines and even less of a point to being in the film
at all. Overall this isn't worth it. Pick up Rock N Rolla if you
want a decent take on an English cops n robbers (review coming soon to this
site).
