An ultimately disappointing movie. A messy plot fails to convince as does Robert Carlyle's weak Cockney accent. The police station shoot-out finale borders on the farcical. Any sense of gritty gangland realism which is portrayed earlier in the film goes completely out the window with this scene. The one saving grace of this movie is another excellent performance by Ray Winstone as Dave. An impressive soundtrack,however, merely serves to confirm a distinct feeling of style-over-content.
