Nick finds himself in debt to American gangster Mr Thigo . Nick has to find one hundred thousand pound within 24 hours or his mother who is being held hostage will be executed
With a film starring Danny Dyer , Brenda Blethyn , 50 Cent and executively produced by footballers Ashley Cole and Rio Ferninand what could possibly go right ? Not much . Reading the plot summary and the comments on this page you do realise you might be watching a Guy Ritchie inspired comedy thriller but that's too simplistic . More like you're watching a sort of British set SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE where a cosmic being conspires to fit one situation to smoothly dovetail in to another one . For example Nick and his best friend crash their London cab in rural Lancashire and low and behold there's a rave taking place . Not only that but the rave organisers just happen to know a couple of Manchester gangsters who want to arrange a hit that morning . Wow lucky if you need to earn 100 grand through illegal means . The Gods are indeed smiling upon Nick . They do like their fun though and play about with him . For example they arrange things so that he'll sit right next to some thieving scrote on a train who will steal his money , then when he goes to rob a bank someone coincidentally mentions on the phone the result of a dog race the previous night . The Gods do indeed work in mysterious ways
Sounds bloody awful and yet it's so awful and silly and lacking in any sort of reality that you can't help being swept along in its thoughtless stupidity and sense of fun . Yeah I'll be the first to admit that Guy Ritchie has a lot to answer for and we've seen far too many pale imitations of his work . If everything was dead pan it would indeed be a different film but a much lesser one and it's nice to see film once in a while that doesn't take itself or the audience too seriously
