The film is based on the novel “The More’s the Risk”.

Plot

After a London heist, Jack’s(Craig Fairbrass) father is murdered and somebody steals the heist money too. How is Jack going to get revenge?

Star performance

As Craig is the writer of the film he has designed his character to be himself which is a stone cold, bulky, no nonsense and right on action individual. The rest of the actors also did their job well.

Analysis

The film is honestly a template action flick that has nothing new to offer and has been seen in numerous action films from Hollywood to Bollywood. The film from the onset has given the notion of its predictability. The film despite being only 1 hr 35 min long does feel lengthy at times. The actresses in the film are not even substantial to the main plot. The story is interesting in moments but isn’t that captivating to keep you hooked. The third act does manage to do that because it has some surprises which some would like and others would facepalm but let's be honest it's like finding a needle in a haystack. The film lacks emotional depth even for a no nonsense action film you want the audience to be invested in the characters, story. Craig Fairbrass has done an outstanding job and the film is basically on his shoulders as shown from his pov. The film could’ve been an engaging watch but the makers choice to have everything stereotyped in the film makes this film another generic action flick. London Heist is not a good film, it's not bad either.

What’s there?

  • A no-nonsense action film
  • A Craig Fairbrass starrer

What’s not there?

  • The film’s stereotyped as hell.
  • Predictable story
  • The film has pacing issues
  • A generic action film

Verdict

London Heist is a generic action film with predictable twists, it did had potential to be an engaging watch but everything stereotyped has made this movie another random action flick. You can watch the film on a random binge.
