Stansfield, in a relaxed acting debut, delivers a performance as robust as her soulful vocals.

A quirky modern comedy from Scouseland, and as you'd expect from there the themes are crime related. If your a fan of Alexei Sayle then it is worth a watch.

Somewhat derivative of "The Full Monty", it just about holds its own - redeeemed partly because I'm in it.
