Jude Law flexes his muscles (figuratively and literally) as a brash, bellicose safecracker who gets out of jail after 12 years. He sets out (with friend Richard E. Grant) to collect what’s owed him and reconnect with his daughter. This is one of those roles that gives a classy actor a chance to play against type and Law approaches it with gusto: cussing, ranting and violently attacking every one and every scene. While it’s fun to watch (and sometimes too much), the character doesn’t draw much sympathy until it’s almost over. The writing and direction are solid without elevating the film to exceptional, but Law’s energy makes it worthwhile.
