Winstone is, as always, perfectly believable as a tough guy and after a slow start - due, somewhat, to American ears adjusting to those problematic accents - the film hits a groove.

The movie blithely repeats most of the clichés of the American badass-cop flick, only in impenetrable Cockney.

Pulpy Brit actioner for die-hard fans of Ray Winstone, whose close-to-camp turn as '70s TV hero Jack Regan isn't enough to warrant a booking.

Based on a '70s British program, this is a bombastic effort that, while not successful, is still as bracing as a cold pint.

This might just be a British thing that we don't understand - literally.
