the perfect example of a great script, strong acting, and tight directing conquering a low budget.

almost immediately after the film begins, you are hooked into a quick succession of action and plot turns, and before you know it you are at the end of the movie feeling like you stepped off a roller coaster. i wasn't bored for a minute.

there is strong presence of the good dry sense of humor that we come to love from the British and, one of my favorite aspects of the film, its respectful homage or nod to some of the great heist movies and directors.

it is also not without its drama which is pulled off nicely by the ensemble.

all in all a great film and an inspiration for great writing and low budget film making.
