Plot

Further controversy surrounded the film in March 2010 when the British Board of Film Classification, after four screenings, was said to be unhappy about the film's sexual content and would demand cuts to Alex Reid's sex scene with actress and producer Yvette Rowland.[7] In fact, they passed the whole film uncut with an '18' certificate.[8]
The original publicity for the film had said it involved real fights, real criminals, real sex; after release, the film's executive producer claimed "the movie features real violence, real gangsters and real hardcore sex scenes".[7]
Reception
Reviewing the film, James Benefield of the Eye For Film website stated "None of the acting - including the stunt casting - is up to much... with such a dull premise and script, it's surprising Liam Galvin has assembled this notorious cast. The film's main loser is the viewer seeking it out on the back of the publicity generated by this casting."[9]
