Wasteland

Stylish heist film with a twist: the ingenious masterplan unfolds not in hip New York or gleaming Las Vegas, but in a grey town in northern England. The robbery is not at a jeweller's or casino, but a working men's club. It’s as if you hired Ken Loach to direct Ocean's 11.
It’s obvious from the start that the ingenious heist by Harvey Miller and his friends will not work out quite as planned. You see, Harvey tells the whole story in a police interrogation. How, fresh out of jail, he wanted to win back his girlfriend Nathalie, start a new life - but above all, get revenge on drug dealer Steven Roper, who framed him for his own crimes.
Besides the story, in which of course nothing is as it seems, the camaraderie between the four robbers is a trump card in the film. Harvey and his mates Dempsey, Charlie and Dodd know each other through and through. For them, crime is the only way out in 'broken Britain'.
