Once-fearsome gangster Gary Dove abandons his life of crime in favor of a quiet existence in rural Spain, enjoying the company of wife Deedee and friends.

REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 6-Jun-2005)

Great movie! Small and intriguing, yet pivotal, role by the now very famous Ian McShane (Deadwood on HBO) as Teddy Bass, and an oscar nominated performance by the incomparable Ben Kingsley as Don Logan. But the true center of this film is Ray Winstone as Gary "Gal" Dove, a 'retired' gangster who is pressed back into doing one last job in a surprising turn of events. This film is a diamond in the rough when compared to many of its contemporary gangster films, it's smart, funny, sexy and has great music. You'll never close your eyes while sitting at the pool again!
