London, goodby Briefly about the plot. They ran, the bank robbed, ran away.
A little more about the plot. According to intelligence, one black racist pimp-drug dealer (ordinary such a negro) is holding dirt on the Queen’s daughter in a bank cell, and as long as he has this material in his hands, nothing can be done with this criminal nit. Here, of course, I almost choked on my tongue - everyone knows that the Negro skull can not withstand the impact of an ice pick, and any normal intelligence would have taken advantage of this fact long ago. Then, on pain of sudden death, the bank owner gives the materials into the hands of the Queen’s chain dogs – and the job is done. In any case, we in the FSB do this.
But the British wanted to do things differently. They found a gang of small scammers through agents, for whom the speedometer twist seems to be the height of fraud and asked them to rob a bank. Moreover, everything was furnished as an accident and the guys did not know who they were working under until the very end. Unfortunately, they succeeded in robbing the bank. Quite by accident, they stole dirt not only on the princess, but also on high-ranking members of the government and senior officers of the London police. Naturally, gangsters become personal enemies of all influential people in the city. Of course, not everyone lives to the end of the film.
There is a lot of illogical and awkward in the tape. The behavior of some characters is puzzling. But these are normal production costs - you can't shove a criminal story into 100 minutes of airtime without losing quality. Statham’s hero is not a hero at all. It's a mess. His car glass was broken, and he did not even move - in another film, the offenders have long experienced the touchiness of Statham on their own faces, but everything is not so.
The film was powerfully performed by actor David Souchet, who is known for the role of Hercule Poirot. His villain turned out the best. It’s only in our movies villains can be seen from a mile away (well, there’s a swastika on the forehead, a white-colored hair), but in fact the cruelty looks different. Almost always scoundrels are cute children, beautiful girls and old dandelions of God. Here's the hero Sushe is - a cute old man, although a porn king, a bribe-taker and a murderer.
The tape shows the year 1971 - the time of cloaks, whiskers and the Nottingham Forest club. Thank you (who doesn’t know, I lived in London in my previous life).
There is a little bit of English humor in the film.
The film was translated by rare idiots. If they were touring London, the British themselves would be surprised by new facts about their hometown.
I liked it. You can watch it all.
