A young Englishman recently released from prison recruits his three best friends to help him rob the local drug kingpin who is responsible for his incarceration. Can he get revenge and win back his fed-up girlfriend? Battered, bruised and under arrest, Harvey Miller sits in a police interview room facing interrogation. Clutching a stack of eyewitness statements, Detective Inspector West has no doubt in Harvey's part in a foiled robbery, and his subsequent attempted murder of local businessman Steven Roper. Denying everything, Harvey agrees to tell his version of events in full. We take in his release from prison a month earlier, and the malevolent, unjust act that put him in there. We see his emotional reunion with his sibling-like best friends, and the immovable loyalty they have for one another. We see the rekindling of a lost love, a second chance for two people meant for each other. We see the ingenious planning of the ill-fated robbery, the amazing twist, the shocking outcome and the real driving force behind it - retribution. What unfolds is an exhilarating, moving and hilarious story of loyalty, jealousy, friendship, revenge and the pursuit of happiness. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

And another British crime drama that once again features a well-known actor in its storyline. This time it's Timothy Spall, who looks quite normal here. No, it's not about him. It's mainly about a group of young men whose boss wants to get revenge for having to spend time in jail. The creators play quite interestingly with the storytelling, jumping between the present and the past. Thanks to the colorful execution, it's fairly easy to follow. The flashbacks are visually distinct. Towards the end, it's quite a good ride, but when it comes to the screenplay, you can't really speak of a perfectly flawless plot. It's all a bit... over-the-top? I guess that's the most appropriate adjective.

If you know the Misfits TV show and you like London inner-city slang, you will be happy about this movie as well. Not only are there a few actors from the show, but even the story is pretty rough, which is something you can deduce from the movie title itself. Don’t expect a biographical film about Barbies, but rather a tough, uncompromising and poorly handled break-in, which starts out as a fairly simple story of tough boys on the outskirts of an American city, all complemented by the modern-day electronic music. The result is pretty good, but it’s not really worth a re-watch.
