    The last ten minutes of this film are quite nerve-wracking. A trio of bank robbers leave the manager and his assistant locked in their strong room after stealing the loot. Their somewhat flawed plan to release them afterwards goes awry when one of their number is killed and so it falls to the remaining pair - "Griff" (Derren Nesbitt) and "Len" (Keith Faulkner) to try and get back to open the door before they are apprehended by the pursuing police and, more importantly, before they end up facing murder charges! The acting is really nothing special, but the tension built up by Vernon Sewell is really quite effective. It's almost enough to make you want to open all the windows... The whole is most certainly better than the sum of the parts and though it could lose fifteen minutes from the middle, it makes for quite a compelling and different take on the routine crime caper.
