Delicate and elegant piece of work combining great storytelling, a terrific script, and characters you can seriously care about, and do. It hits all the marks. You'll laugh. You'll cry. And you'll love it as many times over as you can accommodate.

4/5

Why can't all British crime dramas be so well written and well acted, and have a splash of comedy as confident as this?

3/5

Fletcher has fashioned a deft, likeable addition to a crowded genre, the cockney comedy thriller. It will be good to see how he fares when he moves on.

4/5

Like its central character, this comedy-drama is a likable underdog in the collection of black-humored British crime movies influenced by the likes of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

4/5

One of those rare films that through its palpable degree of energy and vibrancy manage to keep you rooting for its characters from start to finish.

3/4

With a concept and influences consciously in mind; fine performances by Creed-Miles, Poulter, and Williams; and approving cameos...Fletcher is able to put his best foot forward in this creditable debut.

At first I wasn't interested in watching as it started playing on TV after the previous movie I mainly wanted to watch. With amusing characters and a basic storyline; the overall plot worked pretty well better than expected. Soon I was pretty much on the dad's side and curious how he was going to resolve the problem. Good character growth and some funny moments. Overall good movie to watch if your after something random in the drama genre department.
