Short description
Terry is a small-time car dealer trying to leave his shady past behind and start a family. Martine is a beautiful model from Terry's old neighbourhood who knows that Terry is no angel. When Martine proposes a foolproof plan to rob a bank, Terry recognises the danger but realises this may be the opportunity of a lifetime. As the resourceful band of thieves burrows its way into a safe-deposit vault at a Lloyds Bank, they quickly realise that, besides millions in riches, the boxes also contain secrets that implicate everyone from London's most notorious underworld gangsters to powerful government figures, and even the Royal Family. Although the heist makes headlines throughout Britain for several days, a government gag order eventually brings all reporting of the case to an immediate halt.
What's left behind the scenes
- Filming took place in London, from January to March 2007.
- According to director Roger Donaldson, the most difficult scene to shoot was the one in the brothel, where, according to the script, the women were supposed to be wearing only garters. It turned out that the women had shaved their pubic areas, which was unsuitable considering the story takes place in 1971. They had to create special pubic hairpieces from artificial hair, but keeping them in place proved difficult, and they kept falling off.
- The film is based on real events from the life of Margaret (1930-2002), a British princess, Countess of Snowdon – the story of her romantic adventures with Jamaicans in the 1970s and the story with the photographs hidden in a bank vault.
