Britain has made a number of great crime films lately like "Sexy Beast" and "Snatch". This is not one of them. It's just too mild-mannered and lacks the cocky snap this sort of film usually has. It doesn't help that this master Irish criminal and his wife are played by the eminently non-Irish Kevin Spacey and Linda Fiorentino. Spacey virtually sleepwalks through his role while Fiorentino does one of the worst Irish accents of all time. They especially stand out among a genuine Irish supporting cast that is far more comfortable in their roles. Pierce Brosnan, a real Irishman, might have been a much better lead.
