Synopsis
Sleek, well dressed and polite, our unnamed hero (Daniel Craig) is a consummate professional. Treating cocaine and ecstasy like any other commodity, he has made a fortune for himself by keeping his hands clean and staying under the radar. Having made the decision to retire, his aim is to break free from the world of crime, drugs and violence and live a simple, quiet life with the money he has amassed. But before this can happen, crime boss Jimmy Price wants two last favors from him. First, he must track down the missing, drug addict daughter of powerful criminal Eddie Temple. Second, he must negotiate the sale of a huge shipment of ecstasy with The Duke, a loose cannon petty crook playing well out of his league. What should be a routine transaction is anything but and nothing goes according to plan. Instead, duplicity and hidden alliances become the order of the day, in a struggle for power that reaches from the crack dens London to the highest ranks of British society.Theatrical Release Date
