[...] this raunchy, foul-mouthed crime comedy, about a safecracker and his first few days out of the joint after completing a 12-year sentence, seems to exist exactly for that reason: scenery chewing. Law does that extremely well, and Richard Shepherd's film is a welcome addition to that ribald genre of British crime comedies perfected by Guy Ritchie ("Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"), wherein a bunch of blokes with working-class accents cause mayhem and destruction and generally have a good time doing it.
