Director: Ed Thomas
review by Jeff Young
Yet another lacklustre British gangster comedy thriller starring Rhys Ifans, here
playing a homicidal accountant named Trevor, business partner and best friend of
emotively shallow Peter (Joseph Fiennes). Desperate to save their troubled firm, Pete
and Trev appeal to the Russian mafia for a loan. But, even after getting bailed out
by the weird megalomaniacs of Eastern Europe, Pete is lured away from his pregnant
girlfriend, Sarah (Sadie Frost), by a sultry Russian redhead (actually Tara Fitzgerald,
sporting a panto accent), while still keen on his blonde secretary (Dani Behr), and
finds he's in more trouble than ever.
Gratuitous mobile phone use, sports cars abandoned in busy road tunnels, machine
guns at dawn, and frenzied sex in the office lift add up to something vaguely
entertaining, yet I can't honestly recommend this. Good title, but shame about the
film.
