Storyline

Alex masterminds an ambitious plan to steal millions of untraceable cash that is stacked in the underground vaults of The London Exchange Bank, waiting for its last journey, Incineration. Lucky, Matty, Terry, Chubby, Norman and Jay make up his unlikely gang of robbers. Setting up their alibi, the gang check in for a flight and join in with thousands of England supporters that are part of a mass exodus to The World Cup Tournament in Germany. Instead of passing through to Departure Lounge, the gang head out to the car park, pile into a van and head for Central London where they spectacularly ram raid London Exchange Bank, blocking any exit for those caught up inside. But with an unexpected turn of events, their plan is hampered from the start and they are left with a whole lot more than just a bank robbery to deal with.

Goofs

When the Daihatsu van reverses through the front doors of the bank, an occupant is thrown through the rear window. Looking at the shards of glass left in the window frame, it is clear that plate glass was in the rear window as the shards are too large. All vehicles have toughened or laminated glass for safety. Toughened glass breaks into tiny fragments and laminated glass comes out in one piece. The sound of glass breaking on the tiled floor also suggests plate glass.

User Reviews

poor poor, poor

Did I miss something, this was an old formula, done badly.

What more can I say - save your money; the postives must not have seen the slow paced predictable, dumb movie.

No interest suspense, acting, music - I reckon this was ameuteur dramatics production that has gone into TV!

I was bored, but kept watching as so many people cant be wrong - oh yes they can! Poor everying, from music to terrible acting. At least they used a (former) real NatWest Bank! No saving graces, don't waste your time and money!

So save up and wait, watch Taken (a proper movie), not this tripe.
