the hot potato (2011)

"You can never trust a man from Munchen."
It's the East End of London in 1969 and Danny (Jack Huston) comes across a sealed metal box, that looks expensive, so obviously he nicks it. He takes it to Kenny (Ray Winstone) to discover what it is. Kenny doesn't know what it is, so sends some for analysis, and is shocked to find out it's uranium. So what's a couple of Eastend wideboys to do? Obvious really; try and flog it, but how do you go about selling some hot radioactive material? Enter Harry (Colm Meaney). Based on a true story, this caper twists and turns nicely, but never really lights up.
