Plot
When a seemingly straight-forward drug deal goes awry, XXXX has to break his die-hard rules and turn up the heat, not only to outwit the old regime and come out on top, but to save his own skin...
Sinekatalog’s take
A tidy London drug dealer wants out of the game for one last deal, and everything slips from his control. The editing is sharp, the dialogue crisp, and the plotting more cunning than the usual gangster picture. Stylish British crime with a bitter aftertaste.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
