"I've Been Waiting 50 Years for my bit of Fresh Air." In this British production, a young lady is kidnapped when a heist goes wrong. Each member of the gang has their own issues to deal with including a blackmailing wife. When Eddy (the leader) falls for "the dame" things get complicated.
The acting is somewhat believable. The streets of Great Britain look attractive in the Film Noir lighting. The plot and character interactions hold your interest, but the conclusion is a little shaky (pun intended).
On the positive side, the ending wasn't predictable, although highly improbable. I won't give it away, but it reminded me of one of those journey to center of the Earth films during the most high energy scenes.
Includes a haunting sound track.
