Popular British television comic Steve Coogan stars in this refreshingly dry comedy as Simon Garden, an honest, but naive probation officer. When Simon witnesses a serious crime, he is unlucky enough to get framed for murder by a crooked cop. The only way he can prove his innocence is to persuade the only three criminals he has successfully rehabilitated to return to their dishonest lives and help him rob a bank for evidence! Also starring Emma Williams, Om Puri, Steve Waddington, Ben Miller and Academy Award-nominee Omar Sharif.
