An alright film to fill a spare hour and a half, but don't watch if you want to be wowed. I was surprised to find the writer/director/producer George Isaac is British, considering the many Americanisms applied to British police in this film. Two examples that really got to me were referring to the Professional Standards Department as "Internal Affairs" and to threatening the TDC to things there way so he can "make Detective", 1) as if Detective is a separate rank as in some US police forces, as opposed to a separate function in the UK and 2) as if they have any power to stop it from happening, when it is in fact based on the completion of CPD. Also, surprising lack of screen time for Toby Stephens who, judging by the beginning of the film, was set to be the main character. He's hardly in the thing and certainly doesn't have enough lines for the actor to do well in the role. The acting all around wasn't bad per se, more lackluster. It was fairly obvious some of them just wanted to finish filming and go home. Promising cinematography at the beginning, but that grimy artistic smoke-filled vision of London quickly fades for a ridiculously pruned car chase sequence and otherwise standard TV-quality filming. Everything else suggested a fairly decent budget, except for the stupidly brief heist sequence.

Everybody's a supporting player. Nobody finds a trajectory worth following. Everybody is modestly corrupt. Nobody is believably conflicted.

If it wasn't for the presence of a talented cast and a few decent set pieces, it could almost be a tourist video.

Watching producer-turned-director George Isaac's debut you can't help feeling that somewhere, lying lost on a cutting room floor, there might be a better movie.
