Ok
I want you all to raise your hands and go stand in the corner if you watched this thinking it would be a reasonably good British thriller.
To the rest of the class, you may point your finger in their direction, laugh out loud and shout suckers!.
I usually shy away from these films as they are on the whole pretty cliche. That's not to say some of them do make for enjoyable viewing from time to time. This movie is just lots of geezers, saying *beep* this and *beep* that and trying to look and talk 'hard' throughout it's running time. It's a bit laughable in places but unintentionally so and that's probably not to the films credit. Anyway there's far better movies in this genre if you fancy a bit of geezers saying *beep* this and *beep* that, your probably better of going and searching them out instead.

This isn't one of those films. I hate the Cockney Gangster genre as much as you seem to, but I don't think A London Firm fits into that category. It's not all effing and blinding and Hard Geezer violence, and some characters are damaged and vulnerable rather than the usual stereotypes.
It's a bit different, interesting for much of its running time, but ultimately disappointing. I ended up not knowing who was doing what to who, and why.
I've got a thing about films outstaying their welcome. But this 76 minute film could have done with another five minutes.
5/10 for me. share
I haven't watched it yet, I say yet because my backlog of films to watch is forever increasing, so yet will most likely be never.
My assumption this is one of those films to be avoided is simply a gut reaction and then when I read the storyline
Two hitmen wake up in the back of a truck to discover they have been drugged and their employer brutally murdered. Their attempts to escape bring about a bloody confrontation with a shocking twist in the tale
Now maybe the writers have never been in a cargo truck suffice to say the roof is a clear plasic/fibreglass you could bend over and direct a bottom burp at it and it would be on it's way to mars...... well unless the Roly Poly's were sitting on it, then you might need to use plan 'B'.
