Critic Reviews:
- " [A] lively, non-PC caper-thriller, with touches of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino " – Peter Bradshaw
- " Superbly constructed, pithily scripted and absurdly entertaining. " – Tom Huddleston
- " Honestly, this film was a surprise. Not only is it far better than its marketing campaign lets on, but it's genuinely entertaining. " – Yasmin Shehab
