Tom and Anna Wright are
Americans living in London. They
inherited a large house from a relative and Tom is doing the renovations. They are living in a rented house and
getting very strapped for cash. They don’t have the money for their rent and Tom was served with a two-week eviction
notice. They have sublet the
apartment below them to get a little more cash every month. The tenant is becoming a problem because he
watches a lot of TV and he likes the sound very loud. Tom and Anna go into the apartment to talk about the noise and they find him
dead? He passed from a drug
overdose. When they go through his
things to pack them up, they discover a lot of money in pounds stashed in a bag above a ceiling
tile, $400,000 in dollars. They
decide to quietly take only the money they need for their debts.
Tom and Anna don’t
know there was also a suitcase filled with liquid heroin stashed near money. Another thing
they don’t know is that a group of very deadly men are searching for the money
and the drugs. They don’t care what
they need to do to get their property back!! If I had been beaten up and had two fingers broken like Tom,
I would not be running around but I would be in the hospital on heavy
painkillers!! This film seems like
a check-off list of just about everything that’s been done before in a thriller
movie? Did Franco and Hudson want a paid for trip to London? 2 ½* (This movie is so-so)
