This makes an excellent little British noir/crime B movie. Sparrow has a back story (he's getting divorced) and a future (will he marry the barmaid?). Was it a pilot for a series that never happened?
Great locations and British character actors. An elderly jewellery shop assistant is kidnapped for her keys, but unfortunately she is put in the care of Michael Caine who doesn't know how to look after her. But it's not so simple - this is Edgar Wallace.
Nadja Regin seems to be playing both sides against the middle. Unfortunately it is hard to make out what she's saying, making the twisty plot even more difficult to follow.
That old-fashioned farm turns up in several contemporary cop thrillers and Wallace episodes. I wonder what has happened to those beautiful old barns?
Spot Benedict Cumberbatch's mother (Wanda Ventham) in a milk bar that actually sells milk.
