Again, Jason Stratham proves he should have been chosen for James Bond. He actually emotes in this movie, and acts. The plot is far more complex than just a bank heist. I have seen another movie about this same incident, I can't remember the details. But his one was well acted by every member of the cast. It was disconcerting seeing Rumpole's "Guthrie Featherstone" looking so GD old!!!! My favorite character in the movie was the city of London. The tube, the skylines, Marleybone (I know you spell it some weird way). God, I love that city, and this movie is all about London. Soho to Scotland Yard.
The woman who plays the sexpot is hot as blazes and has the lips that Angeline Jolie was trying to get before she turned herself into Chucko. The only weak spot, the wife is over the top, her acting is too Shakespearean
Eight stars out of 10.
