I would classify this as a film-noir style crime thriller. The setting is London and the players are all hustlers and criminals of one sort or another. Lenny is (in his mind) the big boss of the area and he gets paid to grease the wheels of government when real estate deals need to get done. A Russian billionaire pays him a bunch to do said greasing, but the payment gets swiped by "The Wild Bunch", a group of low level friends. There are several layers of connection here between all the players which makes it fun to parse as a viewer. And it has a couple of my favorite actors right now in Tom Hardy and Idris Elba. Engaging.
3 stars (out of 5)
