Reception

The film has received mixed ratings from various review sites, including a one star rating from The Guardian, which called it an "overcooked, overheated Brit gangster thriller". Time Out also gave the film a one star rating, noting that the film had an "over-complicated flash-back/flash-forward structure and TV soap opera-style acting." The Observer called it "half-baked" and Little White Lies criticized its "absent direction" and called it "cack-handed" and "nonsensical", while finding Dyer "always watchable" and Walker both "ridiculously over the top" and "hypnotically enthralling."
