The startling feature debut from the director of 'High Rise' and 'Kill List', Ben Wheatley.
Father and son Bill and Karl (real life father and son Bob and Robin Hill) have just been released from jail, but all is not well at Down Terrace. Patriarchs of a small crime family, their business is plagued with infighting. Karl has had more than he can take of his old man's philosophising and preaching, and Bill thinks Karl's dedication to the family is seriously compromised when he takes up with an estranged girlfriend who claims to be carrying his baby. To make matters worse, there’s an unidentified informant in their midst who could send them all to prison for a very long time. None of their associates can be trusted.
Ben Wheatley's darkly funny work of social surrealism breathes new life into the crime genre.
