The film opens with bored postman Jonny (Lee Miller) in clown-face reminiscing about his mate Jude (Law), who introduced him to his crime lord uncle Ray Kreed (Ray Winstone). Though Jonny is hungry for some action, Ray is more interested in karaoke and his impeding nuptials with soap star Sadie (Frost). Bored, Jonny, along with Jude, bungle a credit card scam and then later really screw up by robbing high-grade blow from a South London gang headed by Sean (Sean Pertwee) and his sidekick Matthew (Ifans). Soon a gang war ensues. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Such a complete waste of time it seems appropriate to write a eulogy to the dear departed British crime caper.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
A bizarre mixture of brutal violence and whimsical farce.
-
Dennis Lim, Village Voice
Superhumanly awful BBC bottom-feeder.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...suffers from just the sort of overindulgence that is sometimes associated with people who direct their own material.

Andrew Howe, eFilmCritic.com
The scriptwriters walk the fine line between comedy and drama with varying degrees of success.
