With the disappearance of the classic Cockney accent, we have had a plethora of films maximising the myths that surrounded the Kray Twins, even in soaps like Eastenders.
Along comes another one from Frank (The Football Factory) Harper, this time in a story about gangster cousins Manny Mannock (Harper himself) and Ray Collinshaw (Craig Fairbrass).
Having lost a shipment of Russian cocaine at sea they have to organise a diamond heist that demands travelling from London to Amsterdam and Berlin where they meet and beat a gallery of macho mobsters.
Straight to DVD for flag-waving fans.
