A powerful dynasty, headed by a charismatic, manipulative father, falls when he decides to hand over his criminal empire to his three corrupt and power-hungry daughters. Kath runs a brothel down by the docks, Tracy owns a soccer team and Jo, a former junkie -- and prostitute -- rejects her inheritance, pitting sisters Kath and Tracy against each other.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

USA Today by Mike Clark
Whereas last year's exemplary "Sexy Beast" seemed to revitalize the British gangster movie, this equally brutal outing merely sustains it -- though with occasional twists that do linger in the memory.
Variety by Derek Elley
An intriguing spin on the British crime genre that's more a series of strong performances than a fully worked-out character drama.
L.A. Weekly
A baffling subplot involving smuggling drugs inside Danish cows falls flat, and if you're going to alter the Bard's ending, you’d better have a good alternative. Boyd does not.
Film Threat
Ends up feeling like just another uneven British crime drama.
