The Plot
The MI5 wants to arrest Michael X who is accused of bringing drugs to London. But, Michael X has some photographs showing the princess in a compromising position. He uses these photos which are in a safety locker in the vault at the Lloyds Bank London, as blackmail and thus escapes the jail sentence.
MI5 sends a spy to work with Michael X to find the negatives of these photos and destroy them. Michael X is sort of a champion for the cause of the black population.
So now the MI5 has to remove these photos from the bank and they employ the services of a woman Martine Love who has been caught in a drug case. Martine in turn takes the services of Terry Leather and his assembled gang of 5 more men.
They succeed in getting to the vault no. 118 and also the other vaults and they steal about 4 million pounds worth of stuff and also the said photos and some other shady documents.
The police come to know of this and obviously the media too and now all the big shots who had some shady documents and photos hidden in the broken lockers are now after Terry and gang. It's not just the royal family that has some illicit stuff in the locker.
The illegal dealings of a porno filmmaker with the police and also photos of some authorities with prostitutes, find their way into the catch of Terry and co.
How they manage to free themselves from this multidimensional mess, whether all of them manage to stay alive and whether Michael X and the other tainted authorities are brought under the law, is what the ending reveals.

- Never a dull moment. Seat edge thrills and tremendous pace in the screenplay. Be it the way the police come to know of the bank job, the way the gang goes about the job assembling men and material, the way the big shots threaten the gang and how the gang retorts back etc. etc. VERY INTERESTING MOVIE
- Jason Statham as Terry leads the pack and is supported ably by the husky and sexy Saffron Burrows. Rest of the supporting cast fits in well too.
VERDICT
Intriguing and pacy heist movie that is complex and has many characters yet, it is bang on target.
