Om denne film

Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell ('Three Billboards Outside Ebbing', 'Missouri') is made an offer he can't refuse in this darkly-comic heist thriller full of guns, gangsters and… mullets! From the producer of 'Edge of Tomorrow'. Ex-jailbirds, Eddie (Sam Rockwell) and Paul (Ben Schwartz; 'TVs Parks and Recreation'), are on parole and work in a New York diner. Eddie is calm and confident, whereas, Paul is loud-mouthed and impulsive. They're a team, but their lives are at a dead-end. That is, until English lawyer Katherine Rookwood (Phoebe Fox; 'Eye in the Sky') walks into their diner with an offer of a lifetime. Her plan: to take them to London in pursuit of a valuable gem called the Blue Iguana. Only one man stands in their way of the fabulous piece: the psychotic small-time crime boss Deacon Bradshaw (Peter Ferdinando; 'High Rise').

Great characterisation - Sam Rockwell (as always) is splendid and Phoebe Fox gives an excellent (sometimes appearing to be underplayed) performance (so good we expect more and more from her!). Good twists and turns in a London gangland saga with a difference, not least in there being a lawyer and her two American stooges involved. Wonderful cameos from Simon Callow and his friends! This is really a 7/10 rather than 3/5, but that option isn't available.
