Featured review
After a slick opening episode. There is little let up in the follow up. It even has a pastiche of a old Hollywood dance number. Adrian Lester shows off his nifty dance moves. He jumps on a bar in one move. Marc Warren has to clamber.
Albert Stroller is beaten up by a crooked hotel and private casino owner Frank Gorley.
The rest of the team want revenge but new boy Danny is still under probation because he messed up a con by not following the script.
The team decide to entice Gorley by kindling his interest in the movies especially vintage gangster movies . A complicated con that leaves Danny in danger from bullet holes.
The episode works less successfully when it concentrates on Mickey's personal life and his wife wanting a divorce.
Much better is the polished setting up of the various cons. Including Albert being treated like a prince in hospital.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDanny Blue puts eye drops into the bodyguard's drink and says "it's a natural laxative". This is pure Hollywood fiction and is incredibly dangerous in real life. The active ingredient, Tetrahydrozoline, is meant to be used topically and is not safe to ingest. It is also not a laxative in any sense of the word.
Ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, rapid changes in heart rate, respiratory arrest, dangerous fluctuations in blood pressure, dangerously low body temperature, seizures, tremors, coma, and even death.
There are at least 2 known cases of murder-by-eye-drops (the death of Stephen Clayton, and the murder of Stacy Robinson Hunsucker), and eye drop manufacturers such as Visine have repeatedly cautioned the public against using their eye drops orally.
- GoofsAs Ash browses the flash drive containing Gorley's files, a folder called "ColorSync" is visible. ColorSync is Mac OS exclusive software, and Gorley's laptop is a PC running Windows XP.
