A successful cocaine dealer who has earned a respected place among England's Mafia elite and plans an early retirement from the business. However, big boss Jimmy Price hands down a tough assignment: find Charlotte Ryder, the missing rich princess daughter of Jimmy's old pal Edward, a powerful construction business player and gossip papers socialite. Complicating matters are two million pounds' worth of Grade A ecstasy, a brutal Serbian assassin and a whole series of double crossings. The ultimate last job, a love interest called Tammy and an international drugs ring, threaten to draw him back into the 'cake mix'. But, time is running out and the penalty will endure a lifetime..
From the director of the great "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch" films comes this movie that is in a similar vein. But it doesn't quite make it, at least not to top any of those two. Still, it's pretty nice with loads of double crosses and plot twists, albeit most are somewhat predictable. The best scene is the assassin getting shot in the head as he's about to assassin the would be assassin. Heh, nice sentence. The morals of the film? Well, simply put you'll have to wait for the final scene, to get that. It's some good entertainment, and your time is better spent than watching a stupid Hollywood clusterfuck like "Be Cool" with Travolta. Trust me.
