That tranquility is broken when the latter inform Gal that notorious London gangster Don Logan (BEN KINGSLEY) is arriving the next day to recruit Gal for another job. It seems that Don's associate, Teddy Bass (IAN McSHANE), has masterminded an elaborate bank heist and wants Gal on it. The ex-con, however, wants no part of any further wrongdoings, a point of contention that Don doesn't appreciate discovering upon his arrival.
As both men stubbornly hold to their convictions, it's only a matter of time before things reach a boiling point, leaving Gal in a tough and dicey spot as he tries to cover and save his own hide while maintaining his low-key lifestyle.
One character is noted as being a former porn actress, while others are seen nude or in scanty attire, but no explicit nudity is seen in those cases. Violence consists of two deaths (one by an execution style shooting, the other a combination of being shot and beaten) as well as brutal/intense, but non-lethal acts.
Some of them have bloody results and may be unsettling or tense to some viewers (as might some non-related material/moments). Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while they and others also drink and/or smoke. Should you still be concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone in your home who may want to see it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed content listings for more specific examples of what occurs in it.
