Four girlfriends in England find themselves in the middle of a jewel heist... sort of. They find themselves interacting with the aftereffects of a heist. The mechanism of this film, however is what makes the film. The film is really told four times, once from the perspective of each of these girls. So that each retelling fills in additional details. This works particularly well here since, even though the story is happening to the four girls, only in the first minute and last minute are all four ever together. So there are pieces of information that only one will know, and this information is essential to a full understanding. So for the mechanism, and the careful implementation of this mechanism I give full praise. For the actual story, not-so-much. I suppose I am evaluating the story based on whether the story would be good without the mechanism. In this case no. So...
3 stars (out of 5)
