The debut feature from director Marshall, Out Of Depth tries hard to bring an original spin to the British gangster flick (that old chestnut), but sadly falls victim to a script of cheesy cliches and haphazard direction.
Maguire plays Paul Nixon, a Sarf London lad who's landed a job in a swanky advertising firm 'up West'. Nevertheless, he finds himself increasingly drawn into the dark underworld that is South London's criminal culture.
The film loses its way when Cockney-style mobsters enter the mix, and while Maguire is touching, he struggles to carry the complex material.
