Starring Jason Statham's chin, this cockney heist thriller is a right old barrell of how's yer monkey's fathers. It's the story of a true crime - the 1971 'walkie talkie robbery', where a gang of cheeky sods tunnelled into a Baker Street vault - made utterly implausible, as it's told in the overblown style of a Bruce Willis action-farce.
Which, for all its silly cartoon-Cockney mugging, makes this film great fun. As crime capers go, it's a rocket-paced, salt-of-the-earth in-and-out-job - basically a Hollywood remake of an EastEnders omnibus - and it's a right bleedin' corker, my son.
