Terry (Jason Statham) is not above engaging in illegal activities but he's definitely just a small time con man. Then Martine (Saffron Burrows) shows up with a tempting offer. Terry and Martine grew up in the same neighborhood, and she's come back to her old turf to find some guys she can trust to help her with a job. Her idea: break into a bank vault. She has some inside information that could get them into a vault full of safe deposit boxes. The beauty of this, she says, is that most people keep illicit items in their safe deposit boxes and would be unlikely to tell the police what's missing. Terry and his cohorts see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity to score big. But what Martine doesn't tell them is that the safe deposit boxes also contain some dirty secrets that implicate local criminals, the cops, the British government and even the Royal Family.
