It's the performances of Roth and O'Connell (and that of Peter Mullan as their imposing boss) that I want to highlight here.

London Evening Standard

Films are invariably fuelled by fantasy but it's the supposedly gritty context that makes this stuff so hard to swallow.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

A flawed but interesting downbeat Brit thriller with some creepy, leftfield jolts, calling to mind Mike Hodges with a twist of Tarantino.

Rated: 3/5

Straddles a number of interesting sub-genres. It's a shame these outwardly intriguing elements have to do battle with a predictable and pretty contrived story.

Rated: 2/5

The Mail on Sunday (UK)

This British film is consistently just a little better and more surprising than it first appears.

Rated: 3/5

Observer (UK)

Blows and bullets are exchanged, severed limbs stolen, ruthless sex-traffickers encountered.

Good concept, half-baked execution. Tim Roth, Jack O'Connell and Talulah Riley give alright performances, though their characters aren't developed enough to care about nor to be entertained by. There's definitely a good story hidden, though I just didn't really find it interesting. The rushed ending doesn't help, either.

Okay, but not really good--it should have been done for a comedy, like SNATCH.

This looks so awesome and Tim Roth is the best which makes it that little bit more brilliant. Have watched already few times using boxxy software
