Wannabe gangster Barry (Nicky Henson) has worked out a blag on a London cigarette factory. He meets Sue (Julia Foster) at a party, as well as Joe (Martin Potter). The three form a love triangle, though when Barry and Sue discover Joe is a police constable that all changes. Although Sue has real feelings for Joe (as does he, despite his wife (Wendy Allnut) and child!) her future is with Barry who is getting ready to raid the factory, though you just know Joe will get involved...
This is one of those films which you need to approach the right way to truly enjoy. That way to treat this as including footage from a long episode of the Sweeney. Wade (Ian Hendry) provides most of that with his cockney hardman character. The film has plenty of flaws, including most of the lead characters being rather unlikeable. It does look great though.
A really nostalgic film for 1970s London, when real working class people could live there, and you could easily find a parking space.
