Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Kept on the shelf for five years, this surfaced for one week in London as a supporting feature, then disappeared. In fact, it's a very straightforward, serviceable thriller about a small-time con man who is trapped into graduating to bigger crime. Filmed essentially as a chase, the film boasts a couple of good action sequences and some nicely low-key location shooting.
