A criminal is caught up in a game of cat-and-mouse between a London police boss and a crime lord. Set in contemporary London, The Deadly Game is the tale of Riley (Toby Stephens) a high line professional heistmeister hired to pull off the ultimate sting. Caught between Parker (Rufus Sewell) head of a maverick police unit and Joseph Corso (Gabriel Byrne) a renowned and feared crime lord, Riley is unwittingly drawn into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse.

The film, sometimes also known as "The Deadly Game," didn't impress me greatly. This British wave of gritty detective/thriller stories set in London and other British streets is quite overwhelming. There are quite a few of them, and one feels like they are all the same, only with slightly different faces. The problem with this film is that it's not really gritty, it's not even clever, and it certainly isn't entertaining. It's nice that not everyone is trying to imitate Ritchie, but when the story is worth nothing, it simply becomes boring.
