Reviews
The last ten minutes of this film are quite nerve-wracking. A trio of bank robbers leave the manager and his assistant locked in their strong room after stealing the loot. Their somewhat flawed plan to release them afterwards goes awry when one of their number is killed and so it falls to the remaining pair - "Griff" (Derren Nesbitt) and "Len" (Keith Faulkner) to try and get back to open the door
