More twists and back stabbing (both figuratively and literally) than you can even begin to follow in this film.
Fun ending. Hard to follow. Lots of jump cuts. Peter Stormare looks like he is having a pretty great time.

Bruno, a sadistic criminal, wants clever con man Leo out of the way. Leo and his equally clever wife, Lily, are up to something. So too is Julius: he hires Leo to kill Gloria, Julius’s wife. Leo does it, but then Julius shows up with the murder on tape, saying Gloria isn’t his wife – it’s blackmail. Leo’s bookie, Troy, is also closing in, wanting to be paid. Bruno and Lily as well as Bruno and Julius have their own scams running, and Leo is their target. Maybe Leo can get Troy off his back, avoid Moose (Bruno’s huge enforcer), send Gloria’s corpse out of England, turn the tables on Bruno’s murderous brother Caspar, and outfox Lily. Or is Lily his fox? It’s a three-ring circus.
Fast moving thriller about a father finding his daughter that was sold into the sex trade.
Suspenseful, with a happy ending, though less happy than one would expect.
It takes a special man to shoot a man’s wife in front of him to make his point.
