    Not bad
    I quite liked this mid-budget British crime thriller with an unusual premise. You have to put up with a portrayal of one of the most unrealistic homeless people in film - this guy is a high flier, no way would he be sleeping rough - but the conspiracy plotting works well, as does the journalist angle. Plus you get solid turns from Michael Gambon as the mob boss and a young John Hannah to boot. Kudos for the Franco Nero cameo too!
