Synopsis: Living as pariahs on the outskirts of Gloucestershire, three generations of Cutlers, the infamous family of professional criminals, spend their time planning the next heist and mocking the Police. Under Colby's wing, the family's patriarch (Gleeson), the one who pulls all the strings and the source of all evil, Chad (Fassbender) the eldest son, finds himself wavering from his desire to live a quiet life with his wife Kelly (Marshal) and son away from crime and his fearful respect to his father. When Colby devises a plan targeting Lord Lieutenant's inestimable private collection of art, the Police will come after them hard and a life of bad decisions, violence and crime will begin to collapse, underlining the fact that Chad, his father's worthy son and heir needs to make his decisions fast. Will he attempt to oppose and break up the family, or will he spread wings and begin to live his new life? After all, you've only got one family
Review: The family story dealing with the difficulty for sons (and actually also daughters) to cut with their fathers (and also mothers) is told in a very silent way. Chad never talks about it. But his reactions, his actions reflect all the time the allmighty power of the father. The father forces his son to act as he wants, by ingenuous pressure on the grandson or on Kelly. This is something that I have seen around me, by luck not directly experienced. This psychological pressure is really disgusting. Chad even feels remorse of leaving his disgusting and threatening family for his own wife and son. Time to time there is some action or some comedy to disrupt the heavy family atmosphere and bring some rythm in the story. The acting of Fassbender is intense as the role is. The main roles, Chad and Colby, the main characters are intense and therefore very interesting. The character of Chad's brother is so stupidly funny that it also quite marked my mind.  The ideas of robbery are quite good and the car races with the police are well shot.
