Whole Lotta Sole (2012)

aka Stand Off (in North America)

Desperate Jimmy robs the local fish market because like all good cock-ups it seemed a good idea at the time. He’s robbing Peter to pay Paul, except Peter is Paul. The words ‘Shit Creek’ and ‘Paddle’ come to mind.
It’s a comedy of errors set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that takes a siege scenario and works hard to make it both comedic and heartfelt.
It's an entertaining adventure, but I don’t think it’ll attract much of an audience outside of the UK and Éire. But, hey, stranger things have happened…usually involving pikeys.
