Offers some well-rounded performances from Roth, O'Connell and Mullan ... it offers nothing beyond the usual markers of such a coming-of-age film ...

Watchable, blackly comic British thriller enlivened by likeable performances, some engagingly left-field turns and a script that's peppered with decent one-liners ...

Gets mired in the usual amoral stone-cold stuff that makes you wish there weren't quite so many British directors keen to serve as apprentices to the Guy Ritchie school of tight and ruthless filmmaking.

Blackly comical writing and direction add a playful slant to what could have been a typically over-serious British crime thriller.

A flawed but interesting downbeat Brit thriller with some creepy, leftfield jolts, calling to mind Mike Hodges with a twist of Tarantino.

Blows and bullets are exchanged, severed limbs stolen, ruthless sex-traffickers encountered.

Promising talent all round, including director Craig Viveiros.

Roth's performance and handful of dry-as-a-bone one-liners keep it from the straight-to-DVD pile. Just.
