The League of Gentlemen

This classic British heist film wipes the floor with its American counterpart (Ocean’s 11). The ensemble cast is faultless, each actor lending real personality to his character. Composer Philip Green brings tension. The plot is straightforward; slow-moving at first yet nonetheless compelling.
