More holes than a colander!

The film was one of the ‘mortgage films’ Michael Caine occasionally makes, something just to pay the mortgage.

The plot had so many gigantic holes in it, it was unbelievable. Kenneth Cranham gets his arm savagely broken at the beginning of the film and is beaten up. A couple of hours later he is roaming round London shooting people? It would have taken a trip to the operating theatre to have his arm sorted out, about a week’s bed rest and recuperation before he could even get out of bed, that’s assuming he didn’t spend several hours in A&E before being attended to. How on earth does he drive round London done up like The Mummy?

The Serkis character, supposed to a real tough gunman type has equipped himself with an antique Beretta that was out of date before WWII? Couldn’t he have found something a bit more effective? I mean even Kenneth Cranham apparently got himself a Browning!

Oh and by the way, when you ram a car, even a Jag, full tilt into the back of another car you don’t come away with it looking like it just came out of a car wash-it comes out all bent and crumpled!
