After 10 years in the slammer, Eddie Franks (Craig Fairbrass) is eager to go straight, but his drug-mule brother Sean (George Russo) has other ideas. To make matters worse, rival gangster brothers Roy and Johnny Garret (Robert Glenister, Tomi May) are demanding Sean repay his debt to them.
It sounds like yet another knuckleheaded Brit crime thriller, but reviews have been quite positive, with The Guardian praising Fairbrass’s performance: “He used to be the poor casting director’s Vinnie Jones, but he’s proving to be a more interesting, versatile performer with every feature.”
