"Mob boss Harold Shand (Academy Award-nominee Bob Hoskings, Mona Lisa) runs an underworld empire, but he dreams of a lucrative deal that will transform him into a legitimate businessman. Together with his partner in crime, the sexy, sophisticated Victoria (Oscar-winner Helen Mirren, The Queen), he aspires to use American mafia money to develop the barren docklands of London for the upcoming Olympics. However, their perfect plan begins to unravel when a string of deadly bombings leads Shand to a stunning realization and forces him into an explosive showdown in this taut, riveting thriller."--Container.
