Just watched this and it is the hidden gem of the year, imo. It really didn't get much press coverage here at all.
Loosely based on a real event - the Baker Street Bank Robbery in September 1971 - the screenplay speculates on why the government of the day suddenly clamped down on any reporting of the robbery by issuing a D-Notice, and comes up with some truly believable theories.
An excellent crime/thriller starring Jason Statham, with a good plot and lots of humour. Well worth watching.
