Daylight Robbery (15)

I KNEW as soon as I saw Barry from EastEnders (Shaun Williamson) turning up as a moustachioed police chief to investigate a daylight robbery that things would somehow all come terribly unstuck.

After all, writer-director Paris Leonti wants us to believe that it's possible for a gang of England football supporters to use an early check-in at a London airport to rush back to the city and ram-raid a bank.

Despite its collection of fine British character actors - Geoff Bell, Paul Nicholls, Vas Blackwood, Justin Salinger and Robert Boulter - it risibly transforms from The Bank Job to The Great Escape. Straight to DVD.
