Maybe I should get it a higher mark because it kept me entertained enough to actually watch the entire film because it SO bad. I can't think of anything that was done well in this film. The cinematography was fair, acting pretty bad, screenplay yikes.

Boy oh boy
An unimpressive attempt at story-telling and film-making
This film starts with an interesting premise but quickly spirals toward the absurd when two unrelated story lines intersect, at a place where the viewer should just stop watching.
If the intent of the film was to have a plotless outcome - it's succeeded, and as improbable as the story-line is, it is somewhat plausible. The characters are underdeveloped and lack history or purpose, almost like being stuck in an airport and people watching.
A good idea badly executed.
Anyone for Burgers
Robert Atkinson bank clerk, gambler and loser in life thieves £50,000 from his bank loses it all. Enter the triads who give him a chance to redeem himself by exchanging cases, what could be simpler. Well he goes to Amsterdam, gets roped in by a DEA agent and then things get darker. Never accept hospitality from a beautiful woman you never know what you're in for. It's stylishly shot for a british film, the acting isn't bad, it keeps you interested right to the end.
