An abysmal film which links an insufferable Robert Carlyle with Samuel 'Doesn't care what role it is' L.

Even the 'eye candy' is sub par as Emily Mortimer fails to portray the standard femme fatale role which she's assigned.

Sadly, the remote was out of reach when I watched it and I barely made it to the end without slipping into a coma.
