Ignore the title; I think there are maybe two swear words in the entire film. Instead it's another good-crook-gets-in-trouble story, perhaps the third I've seen this week (Break Out, Plan C). Jack, Robin, Glenn, Rasmussin - four longtime friends - get in over their heads when a drug smuggling job goes awry, leaving Jack and Glenn in trouble with the local mafia. Jack, also in the midst of family drama, is fully aware of his faults and spends most of the film trying to make things right, to the best of his ability.
It's a tight crew - the entire cast and crew have a show together - and the interactions work. This is a very enjoyable film.
