From the writer of Last Chance Harvey, though this is more like a Day-Hudson movie made by late period Blake Edwards: though lacking both style and wit it is enjoyable if the brain is in neutral. Over-directed and over-edited film breaks up the performances, and widescreen really doesn't help either.
Pierce Brosnan and ex Emma Thompson journey to Cap d'Antibes to steal a diamond from Louise Bourgoin who's about to be married in it; friends Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie are enlisted to help.
At one point Celia Imrie says 'motherfuckers' but it's over-dubbed as 'melon farmers' - presumably to get the film its 12 certificate.
