I ordered this purely and simply to see the much missed British great in a serious role. As a production, it suffers from the usual problems associated with a low budget, it looks very cheap and nasty. It starts off as a very interesting story, but soon turns into a cheap gangster thriller, with a plot more fitting to a film from the 1940's. Even the likes of Simon Ward and Bernard Hill cannot help save it, Norman Wisdom is the only saving grace, he is delightful as the tragic Clutten. The best moment is the car chase, which looks really rather good, but sadly it's downhill from there on. I know it's 1992, but it looks like it was filmed on a camcorder.
The ending, is terrible. 5/10
