Natasha, a London real estate agent and a secret cocaine addict, is offered money to hide a kidnapped agent. It’s the beginning of a downward spiral into London’s sordid underworld.
Uppercuts Hyena and Muscle have already proved it. He may be British, but Gerard Johnson is to movies what Jim Thompson is to literature: raw, grimy, and drawn to characters with dark souls. corroded from the inside. For the first time, Johnson follows the fate of a woman, just as unlikable, but as fascinating as his male heroes, and whose relentlessness defies comprehension, brought to life by a phenomenal Polly Maberly, the film’s true revelation. A dark, stylized gem and a ruthless snapshot of capitalism, this monster that creates monsters.
