Some people will mention "reservoir dogs" but the subject of the movie is hackneyed ;its granddaddy is probably Huston's while the city sleeps" (1950).What is new is the main character's lost illusions.Once politically committed ,he used to follow his mother's path,demonstrating in the streets singing power to the people right on or other slogans .Now the mother has found a new companion,the hero 's partner,Connie, the subject of one of the biggest euphemisms in the British cinema .Carlyle and his" gang" staged a hold-up,unbeknownst to her but "do not panic ,Connie,you have nothing to worry about".Generally it's the director and his favorite actress,but Carlyle and Bird are the rather unusual team of a female director and her favorite actor.And it works ,because of the rapport they have.It's a violent movie with a lot of blood and death.Its main drawback is it's almost impossible to believe Carlyle 's character was once a commie :the short flashbacks are very superficial.he never hints at it,and the audience is unable to relate to what were once his ideals.
