After a night out on the town, Shannon (Driver) and Frances (McCormack) return home only to over hear that a multi-million pound bank robbery is taking place across the street from Shannon's flat. With Shannon being an under paid nurse and Frances an out of work actress, they come up with a plan to black mail the robbers for a share of the loot. What they don't know is that they are dealing with the biggest crime syndicate in London.

This is a fun movie that never really does anything more than just keep you pleasantly entertained for ninety minutes. Driver and McCormack are very good as a screen partnership and really do come across as genuine friends, it's just a shame their talents were not utilised in a better-written movie. Why is it that every movie set in London has to have some element of crime written into it? Guy Ritchie has a lot to answer for. All in all, this is really a missed opportunity but a mildly entertaining one.
