Two best girlfriends living in London suddenly find themselves battling wits with seasoned criminals when they decide to blackmail the culprits of a bank heist in their neighbourhood rather than reporting the crime to the police.
Refusing to be played by this new competition and give up the demanded £1 million, the leaders of the gang of robbers decide to start playing dirty tricks, threaten violence and counterfeit money in an effort to throw the two women off course.......
This is one of those films that I remember being advertised at the cinema, being on there for a week and disappearing without a trace. Ten years on and it pops up on sky movies at an ungodly hour.
An undeserved failure when released, one feels that this suffered due to the fact that it looked too much like a 'Lock, Stock' rip off, which at the time were a dime a dozen. so i guess the public steered clear, which is a shame because despite all it's flaws, it's a very entertaining film thanks to the energy given by McCormack. Driver plays the straight woman to her mad woman and gets sidelined in the proceedings, just looking very pretty.
Plans go wrong and get worse, and the film is ably supported by some great comic talent, good settings and Danny Dyer, when he wasn't an annoying cockney villain.
The leads are ferocious and give the film their all, and one feels that this wouldn't have worked be it two other actresses. If you can find this gem anywhere, watch it, it's a cracking little movie.
