Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews

The blag to kill for. Only one of them meant it for real.

Ray is an aging ex-socialist who has become a bankrobber after seeing the demise of socialism in 1980s Britain. Teaming up with a gang of other has-beenish crims, he commits one bank job too many. The gang dissolves in a murderous flurry of recriminations.
