What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Tony and Craig's attempt to transport cash from Essex becomes a sprawling journey involving a stolen van and its German owner.
The film presents Pat's criminal schemes and the Tony-and-Craig misadventures with more comedic intent than the earlier installments.
The drug deal depends on a large cash payment, which is stolen and forces Pat to devise a more audacious recovery plan.
Tony's desire to return to England for Nigel Benn's major boxing match gives the criminal journey a time-sensitive cultural objective.
