Even if it wasn’t the first film made by director Paul. W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil) and actor Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes) there would be plenty to recommend this action packed story of bored British teenagers looking for cheap thrills to past their time. They steal cars, crash them into exclusive shops and steal everything they can get their hands on before the cops arrive. Then they race the cops until they lose them or die trying. The nihilism the kids spout feels fake and dated, but the style that Anderson brings to the screen is thrilling to watch. Law is almost too pretty to be taken seriously as the tough guy Billy, but his charm makes up for a lot of his weaknesses, as does his sexy costar Sadie Frost.
