- Right up the alley of fans of a good con and fans of prison dramas. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. A good follow-up to Avengement or My Cousin Vinny. The walls close in, and so does the tension.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.

- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
The explosive follow-up to We Still Kill The Old Way (2014). Regarded as the best in the business, The Archer Gang is an aging criminal outfit who carry out a daring robbery, but are caught mid-heist. They are sentenced to do time in Britain's toughest prison. Once inside, they encounter their old nemesis Slick Vic Farrow (Billy Murray) who is intent on murdering the gang. The old-school criminals need to use all their wits to stage a daring escape, while dodging Slick Vic, and setting in motion a chain of events which leads to an explosive prison riot.
