      Storyline

      Edit
      Bent on making it big, the petty thief, Leonidas, accepts a respectful invitation from his mentor, Babis, aka "The Tutor", to organise and take part in a daring but profitable bank heist. However, unbeknownst to him, and his motley crew of small-time crooks and fellow professionals, a criminal mastermind is using them as a decoy, to perform an even more lucrative robbery behind their backs. As a result, a poor, double-crossed, and above all, empty-handed Leonidas rightfully swears revenge. Nevertheless, is he in a position to make any threats? —Nick Riganas

      10/10
      A classic gang film
      This is definitely one of the most surreal cinematic experiences I have ever had. The characters are so one dimensional it's actually contributing to the cheap humour of the film. I would like to pay my respect to the excellent comic actor Markos Lezes, who in this film, outdoes himself for sheer quality of performance and humour of the English style. Excellent.
