Terry Leather (Statham) and his dodgy friends aren't London's great criminals. But when they're approached by the beautiful Martine Love (Burrows) and asked to plunder a local bank's priceless safe deposit value, the small-time hoods see the job as the chance of a lifetime. But what they don't know about the true purpose of the robbery may kill them -- they quickly find themselves embroiled in a scheme involving a Black Power leader, the MI-5, corrupt detectives, a local porn king and even the Royal Family in this pulse-pounding crime drama, based on the greatest heist in British history.
"Engages us fully with a tale that's well-fashioned more than anything else, a fascinating study of morality at several levels of English society, and of honor, or the lack of it." -- Joe Morgenstern, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
