Thoughts
Sign me up for anything Nick Mohammed is in, and although initially you're like, what a weird trio with BDH and Orlando Bloom as well, that's kind of the point. This odd group are thrown in at the deep end and somehow survive various scrapes by being hilarious. It's a silly film, there are plot holes aplenty and it's really poking fun at the gangster organised crime scene, but switch your brain off and go with it and it's brilliant. Nick does steal the show, but I was impressed with Orlando's comedy take on method acting, and the three of them worked really well together. A fantastic watch.
