When their suave new flatmate dies, presumably from a drug overdose, leaving behind a suitcase full of money, Juliet, Alex, and David, three vaguely obnoxious yuppie types, decide to dispose of the body and keep the money for themselves; unfortunately for them, some rather unsavoury characters are busily seeking the recently deceased and his bag of swag, in Boyle’s stylish, inventive, and thoroughly entertaining if vaguely implausible thriller.
