A group of bank robbers find their $20 million plan interrupted by a hard-boiled detective.

• Can you find any interviews with the directors or stars? What do they say about the film?

Idris Elba: “This film is a heist film with a heist gang, and I've always been attracted to that type of film. I hadn't done one before. My character in this film is sort of a career criminal. He's been doing it a long time, and he doesn't have a whole lot to say in this film. That's what attracted me to it, you know, that it's going to be a stylish film about old-school criminals. In this day and age we rob banks with computers, but Gordon is old-school. We'll just blow a hole in the ground and as this truck comes by we just have it drop in there and then we'll steal $32 million in hot cash. That's ambitious.”
