The Heavy

Mitchell "Boots" Mason is a former convict working as an enforcer for Anawalt, a London crime boss. Boots owes him money, and Anawalt offers a way to settle the debt: kill Christian Mason, Boots's brother, a politician seen as a likely future prime minister. The brothers are already estranged because Christian withheld an alibi that would have kept Boots out of prison. Dunn, a corrupt detective, is meanwhile pursuing Boots for reasons of his own, and a student named Claire becomes caught up in the plan when her flat is chosen as the vantage point for the shooting. Boots has to weigh revenge against what remains of his family loyalty.

The Heavy is a British-American action thriller released in 2010, written and directed by Marcus Warren and produced by John Cairns. Gary Stretch plays Boots, with Vinnie Jones as Dunn, Stephen Rea as Anawalt, Shannyn Sossamon as Claire and Christopher Lee as Mr. Mason. It was made for around 5 million dollars and has found only a modest audience since: on IMDb it holds a rating of 4.9 from roughly 2,200 votes, and on TMDB a rating of 4.9 from a much smaller number of votes, so viewers on both platforms have judged it similarly.
