Great Film

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is great because it features two female leads but it isn't a chick flick.

-=some SPOILERS=-

A nurse (Driver) and a mediocre actress (McCormack) use the nurse's dumb boyfriend's scanners to listen in on phone calls.

They overhear Danny, lookout for a gang of bank robbers who's calling his girlfriend.

The police don't believe them when they report and the actress takes down the phone number. They concoct a scheme to blackmail the robbers for some of the take.

They call Danny and set up a drop but Danny tries to shoot them and wounds a homeless man.

So they track down Danny and find out his boss is named Mason. They blackmail Mason but get nowhere, eventually tracking down Mason's boss Kierigan.

In the end they find Mason's house and hold him hostage. They manage to steal all 10 million pounds and get away.

Good humor, though fairly subtle for American audiences, but British humor fans will laugh their butts off. Good acting and good direction. entertaining as a date movie, girl-power flick or light comedy.

I recommend checking it out, rent it the next time you're out and pair it with Bridget Jones for more silly humor from the Brits.
