Synopsis

An unnamed cocaine dealer in London is planning on stepping away from the criminal life. Before he can cut ties, his supplier draws him into a complex pair of jobs involving kidnapping the teenage daughter of a rival gangster. A series of elaborate double-crosses from all corners is about to unfold.

Our take

Former Guy Ritchie conspirator Matthew Vaughn (whose career behind the camera stretches from Snatch to Kingsman) made a head-turning directing debut with this rough, sexy, and very British crime thriller. And when the makers of the new 007 saw it, they came calling for Daniel Craig.
