Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.George Isaac's debut feature does one or two things quite well – actually two, both of them chases – but offers little else in the way of excitement.
The cast is top-drawer: Toby Stephens as a high-end thief, Rufus Sewell as the head of an elite police unit, and Gabriel Byrne as a crime boss, all sharking around a contemporary London nicely shot by Howard Atherton.
Tight, laconic dialogue underscores a tale of revenge and double-crosses that wants to be edgy but never cuts deep enough, and the plot point stolen from LA Confidential (remember "Rollo Tommasi"?) is rather wasted in the event. It's classy-looking, but empty.
