Vinnie Jones stars as a former convict and a member of a radical faction of the IRA (is there any other) who has left that life and has managed to lay low for the last five years. He lives in Brixton, with a Rastafarian DJ(Lennox Lewis complete with a giant spliff ) living above him, and a ruthless Jamaican drug dealer Julius (Eriq La Salle), with his beautiful junkie girlfriend Rita (Samantha Mumba) living below him. His past catches up with him in the form of Patrick Bergen, an old terrorist crony who has escaped from Brixton Prison and needs a place to hide out from the cops searching everywhere for him.
There is a great sense of humanity in this film; Vinnie Jones has always been one of my favorite Brit film star and here he is amazing as usual; the great reggae sound track is an added plus. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat and the ending caught me completely off guard.
