CGiii Comment

Kingsley steals the show.

It has moments of visual genius - not surprising, since it was made by an Ad man.

The pace is furious - thought went into this and it shows.

There are so many strands and they are woven into a very fine film indeed.

Exemplary.

The(ir) Blurb...

Gal, Deedee, Aitch and Jackie, having left behind respective lives of ill-repute, bask in the sun of Spain and in the most essential brand of leisure. A hazy yarn of barbecues, beer and botched hunting expeditions make up their retirements, until a sudden and unforeseen disruption emerges from their past. Enter the childishly violent and hilariously edgy Don Logan. Through a series of side-splitting negotiations and irrevocable acts, retired crook Gal is forced to shake off the rust and accept one last mission, put forth by the menacing Logan, his ex-mentor. A heist of legendary proportion and personal implications, this job should make for one hell of an encore.
