Critic Reviews:
- " This throwback to 1970s cops and robbers movies had me ‘nicked.’ " – James Verniere
- " Winstone is, as always, perfectly believable as a tough guy and after a slow start – due, somewhat, to American ears adjusting to those problematic accents – the film hits a groove. " – Stephen Whitty
- " Mr. Winstone chews on this Cockney cops-and-robbers caper with foulmouthed glee. " – Jeannette Catsoulis
