Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved The Night of the Hunter or Dancer in the Dark, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood

The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Two boys, still grieving the death of their mother, find themselves the unwitting benefactors of a bag of bank robbery loot in the week before the United Kingdom switches its official currency to the Euro. What's a kid to do?
