Plastic (2014): Credit Card Scams to Diamond Heist
Co-written and directed by Julian Gilbey, Plastic (2014) is a decent caper film that was largely met with negative reviews upon it's release. The story concerns a group of young British credit card scammers that steal a briefcase from the wrong sadistic crime boss, and are forced to pull off a multi-million dollar diamond heist in order to pay off the debt. Although it is supposedly based on a true story, much of the plot line seems too far-fetched and at best is borderline-feasible. The cast of lesser known young actors look hip, but have a tall order to fill, including Ed Speleers, Alfie Allen, Will Poulter, Sebastian de Souza, Emma Rigby, Mem Freda, Graham McTavish and Thomas Kretschmann.
