I watched this movie at random. I was day drinking and don't know how or why I found it but I ended up enjoying it. I'll start by saying it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen. Most of the acting is terrible. The dialogue doesn't help but Ivan Rogers delivers something far beyond the rest of the film. His acting took a fairly generic story and character and turned it into something with some substance. It's a pretty basic 80's noir style story (weaknesses and all) but the play between Rogers and his partner, played by Sandy Brook is compellingly strong and the two bring out the best in each other acting wise. The film might be low budget but if you want an enjoyable crime thriller with a surprisingly strong lead then you should give this a shot. It has good music too, 1980's in essence of course but it adds to the neo noir where the acting and writing fall short. The 1980's city scape also lends to the film with a gritty kind of realism that helps pad out the weaker bits.

Fans of Dirty Harry and Deathwish might enjoy this. A cop with a murdered wife has an agenda. He want's justice any way he can get it and the story goes from there. Not the best but driven by a strong lead.

EU 'exit bill' could cost up to €60bn, former Brussels diplomat warns

The former UK ambassador to the EU has told MPs the UK will need to pay the EU up to £51bn to leave and Brexit negotiations could last until the early 2020s. Sir Ivan Rogers, who quit in January and accused the UK's top politicians of "ill-founded arguments and muddled thinking" over Brexit, said reports that Brussels officials were preparing an "exit bill" for the UK were "genuine". Giving testimony to the House of Commons European Scrutiny Committee on Wednesday, he added that senior EU figures believed Britain could not afford to refuse to pay the bill because of the costs of leaving without a deal.

The view of many will be that the implications for the UK of walking away without any deal on the economic side and without any preferential arrangement and walking into a World Trade Organisation-only world are - from their perspective, which may be a misreading of us - so unpalatable that we won't do it.

Britain's top diplomat at the EU quit his post with a blistering attack on the government, giving voice to what several sources say is wider frustration among officials over Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit strategy.
