Critic Reviews

  • Matthew Turner, ViewLondon

    While nicely acted and never less than watchable, Daylight Robbery is ultimately disappointing thanks to unsympathetic characters, some dodgy direction and a stifling lack of tension.

  • Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph

    Imagine a sort of Dog's Dinner Afternoon.
