At first glance, Another Urban Yoof Movie but there’s a fresh Angry Young Man feel to this botched-heist thriller. A simmering Luke Treadaway recalls an ingenious robbery in unreliable flashback, staged by director Rowan Athale with high style and Northern gruffness. Special bonus: Neville Longbottom, all grown up, swearing like a champion.
