Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Good old True Brit cinema does it again with this half-hearted headline exploitation, in a sub-TV thriller vein, that leaves you in no doubt that it was 'entirely shot on location in Orpington, Kent'. It's unlikely that it even disturbed the residents with its tale of a bank robbery gone wrong and a suburban siege in which heavyweight lumpen yob (Nesbitt) and dole-queue kid (Guy) hold 'respectable' bank manager's family hostage. If tempted to lay down money for this rubbish, you should get a few compensatory chuckles from a captor-captive slanging match on the economics of the class system, and from the instant love affair between virgin daughter and afore-mentioned kid; but you'll still want your cash back by the time the script's stabs at Social Comment are exhausted.
