It has a quality cast, but we've run round this track too many times, while the script jogs from scene to scene without any surprises.

This budget-conscious, simplistically plotted and often cringingly performed crime caper is not quite as inauspicious a producing debut as one might have expected.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 30, 2009

Dead Man Running feels like something cobbled together after a cynical producer saw Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and decided to cash in. Except it is ten years too late.

It'll shift serious DVD units, and is not as bad as it could have been.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 30, 2009

Is there any way of stemming the flow of post-Guy Ritchie cockney crime comedies? Would, say, sticking Danny Dyer's head on a pike somewhere in Bethnal Green be enough of a deterrent? Because I for one would be willing to pay that price.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 30, 2009

The scenes between Blethyn and Davis could be a film in themselves: Blethyn's pitch-perfect performance being this clock-ticker's one outstanding element.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2009

The plot's a total shambles. The message (rob, pillage and snort your way to a no-consequences happy ending) stinks.
