In this broad comedy from sometime comic actor
Mel Smith (
The Tall Guy), two women find themselves fleeing criminals.
Minnie Driver stars as
Shannon, a London nurse who finds her boyfriend Ray (
Darren Boyd), a "sound sculptor," becoming increasingly dull and inattentive. When he forgets her birthday, she decides to hit the town with best pal
Frances (
Mary McCormack), an American actress wasting her time in a terrible small-theater production. Returning to
Shannon's apartment, the girls overhear a cell phone conversation on Ray's scanner chronicling the ten million dollars stolen from a safe-deposit box. When police are uninterested in their information, the girls get an idea to blackmail the robbers to get a share. The criminals, led by the hard-as-nails
Mason (
Kevin McNally), counteract with their own scheme, and the caper begins to go wildly out of control. Similarly plotted to the 2001 release
Beautiful Creatures, but much lighter in tone than that dark suspense thriller, the film co-stars
Michael Gambon,
Danny Dyer, and
Mark Williams.
