Total Film
press[A] leaden, lethargic affair, based on a 10-year-old script by the Coen brothers that feels like a first draft at best.
Hollywood Reporter
pressEven with a script by the Coen brothers, this contemporary London caper movie falls far short of its potential even as a lightweight comic romp.
Empire Magazine
pressBig laughs are missing. This just about gets away with it rather than romps off with the loot.
