British Gangster film with a tongue-in-cheek approach to the genre, including a part played by 'Mad' Frankie Fraser. When Tone's ex girlfriend resurfaces with a daughter he never knew he had, he moves from the world of blackmail, extortion and the occasional hit into the realm of nappies and lullabies. His pals, Speed and Bear, feel let down, but his employer Pops Den is furious and decides the best thing to do is wipe Tone out...but who will do it...and at what price?
Acting
Vincent Regan somehow makes a killer dad weirdly sympathetic.
Practical Effects
Real East End locations plus actual gangster Fraser = authenticity you can't fake.
Writing
Dialogue that walks the tightrope between menace and dad jokes.
Director
J.K. Amalou
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
'Mad' Frankie Fraser was a real Richardson Gang enforcer who spent 42 years in prison—casting him wasn't stunt casting, it was documentary cosplay.
This film arrived dead-center between Lock, Stock and Snatch, trying to ride the wave of 'geezer chic' that briefly made British gangster films as common as rom-coms.
