Lol, not an unpleasant way to kill 94 minutes...

Warning: Spoilers
It's one of these films you want to give to a film editing class and say, "Okay, tighten it up!" Think poor man's "Expendables" with a dash of "Reservoir Dogs" Geritol powder mixed in (id Geritol still around? I really don't know.)

So basically an old retired London gang with manners seeks vengeance on a new London punk gang who are dicks, basically because they killed one of the retired guys and posted it on the internet. The new London gang doesn't seem very smart. If you can't tell how this going to end within 20 minutes or so, you're really out of touch.

To their credit I think the actors are all pretty cool (Holy Cow, is that Steven Berkoff?), the actresses need to update their IMDB photos, and props to the director/writer team for throwing in little "twists' that were a pleasant surprise. Won't tell you what they are, see if you enjoy them too. It appears they were trying to make this an ongoing franchise, there is a listed sequel ("We Still Steal the Old Way"), but I haven't seen it and may have to wait for the next pandemic surge to hit. Incidentally, if this is the new wave of "action/comedy budget" films being made in England these days, okay by me.
