Trivia:
The movie is a homage to '60s British cinema, particularly Michael Caine movies of that period. The lead character of the assassin calls himself "Matthew Palmer", after Harry Palmer of The Ipcress File (1965), and his band is called "The Ipcress Files". The lead assassin who confronts Palmer at the film's climax is called "Mr Carter", in reference to Get Carter (1971). And in the interview bar scene between Palmer and Lance, a painting of Michael Caine is seen in the background.

Woman in Black:
I know what you're all thinking. "Did she fire five or did she fire six?" Well, to tell you the truth... I fired two. Sorry, I've always wanted to say that.

This is a great little film that does what it says on the box. Its low-budget but makes no excuses for it. It looks good, is well put together and the music is excellent. If there's one thing to criticise then maybe its some of the acting but that doesn't really make much difference to the overall package. This is a great video to watch with a pizza and a beer with some mates on a Friday night. That's what I did
