It becomes quite grim and, although by no means perfect, uses the genre expectations to con the audience as well.
Interpretado com simpatia por Ken Stoutt, Jack é um protagonista envolvente, mas o filme à sua volta jamais se decide pelo drama, pela comédia ou pelo thriller, prejudicando-se ainda mais com um final pouco convincente.
I was not expecting much from this film because it never got a wide release here in the US. I was pleasantly surprised and found myself really enjoying the film. Great performances by the cast and a coherent story kept the film from being just another piece of fluff.
January 3, 2007I watched this on Netflix stream, not really knowing what to expect. A couple of actors in it appealed to me (Ken Stott, Dominic Monaghan) so I stuck with it. It does start a little slow, but ends up being quite a nice British caper in the end. Stott reminds me alot of Michael Caine, but a little warmer.
