Dark comedy that exudes a well-defined feeling of outlandish exaggeration and startling truth in one smoothly paced motion. Directed by Stephen Norrington and set in London, it is the story of Billy Byrne (Max Beesley), a self-obsessed up-and-coming star. Working as an artist, Billy is on the verge of fame, with his girlfriend and his friends firmly behind him. However, when his moment of glory comes to an abrupt end, Byrne loses everything. Depressed and alone, he finds himself sinking into the spiraling depths of the London underworld, engulfed by a shady ring of crime in a network of tunnels underneath an old theater. Billy's decisions along the way are influenced by a street-smart young girl, Anna (Emily Corrie in her feature film debut), and the horridly tainted leader of a gang of child thieves played by stage and screen actor Tom Bell.

Bien interpretado al principio, pero después una visión confusa y desdibujada de las penurias de un hombre que pudo tenerlo todo, pero lo perdió todo y se convirtió en una ruina por falta de autocontrol. Otra adición a la ola del dinámico cine británico de recortes, pero que se queda muy por detrás de sus pares (Danny Boyle, Guy Ritchie). Stephen Norrington quiso decir tanto y se esforzó tanto en filosofar que esta forma no pudo soportarlo, y la obra no salió bien.
