On the day before his wedding Jos wakes up next to a murdered man
with no recollection of what happened the night before. He soon
discovers that a group of gangsters have pinned him as the lone suspect
in the theft of 20 kilos of coke. He’s got to get it back in 24 hours,
or the life of his bride will be in serious danger. Now he has no
choice, but to creep back into his dangerous old world of petty thieves
and drug dealers all before his wedding the next day. It all hangs on
the gruff elegance of leading man Raymond Thiry, whose Jos is a puzzle
meant to be pieced together over the course of the film. When we meet
him, he’s confused and frightened by the situation in which he find
himself. He’s an ex-con, but he’s since cleaned up his life and met the
woman of his dreams, who he intends to marry in the next few days. As
the story unravels, we find that he was once a very, very bad guy.

Along the way we’re treated to a number of engaging supporting
characters. Not the least of which is Vlad, played by Simon Armstrong, a
gay former Russian ballet dancer who runs his cocaine business from a
bowling alley with an iron fist. He’s just one of the players.

It’s not all violence. Well, there is plenty of that. Bursts of extreme
violence are just one facet of this film’s bold nature. The colorful and
dynamic characters, from the leading man on down, are the glue that
holds it all together. Energetic, hyper-violent and weaved around a
talented cast. These are elements that make for a fun ride. They make
for a really bad day for Jos, but a wicked fun time for the rest of us.
