Winstone e (especialmente) Kingsley carregam o filme com suas atuações magnéticas, enquanto Glazer confere charme à narrativa com sua abordagem bem-humorada. Infelizmente, o terceiro ato não sobrevive à ausência do personagem mais interessante do projeto.

This slight-seeming but trim and absorbing British import deepens in your head the more you chew it over later.

A film that takes a familiar premise -- in this case, a retired thief who is asked to pull one last job -- and makes it exciting again through the use of interesting characters, elegant camerawork and exhilarating storytelling.

It's not just the ironic kick of watching the guy who played Gandhi get his rocks off on sociopathic violence. Ben Kingsley's Don Logan is one of cinema's all-time fearsome, loathsome villains - stalking even the frames from which he's absent.

A marvelously suspenseful character study wrapped up in a refreshingly tight crime film.

Stands head and shoulders above the late 90s flurry of British gangster movies. Stylish and confident and built upon a fearsome performance from Ben Kinglsey.

One of the more interesting efforts in its genre, though it has been somewhat overrated.

From the off it's clear at once that Jonathan Glazer will be a ballsy, switched-on film-maker.

When you get the chance, give this one a look.

Aside from [Glazer's] visual flair and gallows humor, he's still subtracted much more than he's added.
June 29, 2001
The most original and entertaining crime thriller since The Limey.

The talented Glazer keeps things crisp, clean and purposeful. The only flab on this film is around the waist of its sybaritic hero, a working-class crook who has finally gotten a taste of the good life, and doesn't want to lose it.
