Lynch (
Gary Oldman), an emotionless food connoisseur, stops a thief who stole a phone from Mimi (
Elena Anaya) in a railway station. Falling in for her instantly, he doesn't notice that she accidentally switched phones with him. She later gives Lynch's phone to her boyfriend, Abe Klein (
Andrew-Lee Potts) who works as a locksmith. When Lynch's employers try to assign him another assassination over the phone, Abe and his pot-smoking slacker artist friend go to warn the victim, Mr. Fish (
Terence Stamp), hoping for a reward. Concerned by Abe's behaviour over the phone, the employer has another operative, Virgil (
Billy Zane), who hasn't met Lynch in person, to check up on him. Virgil has a Czech killer, Dragan (
Karel Roden), brought in to deal with "Lynch". All the while, Danny Devine (
Robert Carlyle), a foul-tempered, foul-mouthed
loan shark, is driving around trying to collect from various deadbeat clients including Abe. ==Cast==
