British writer-director Peter Biddle takes a wry and engagingly offbeat look at contemporary standards in a bizarre and witty comedy whose ingenious central premise finds the country and establishment plunged into chaos when the nations's top criminals go on strike. The parodic structure allows the film to make its sharp, often mordant points to considerable effect, and a strong cast aids and abets the director with infectious zest.
