Under the direction of Tom Kingsley, the movie introduces Bryce Dallas Howard as Kat, an improv comedy instructor struggling with doubts about her professional achievements. Her life takes a dramatic turn when an undercover detective (played by Sean Bean) presents her with an extraordinary acting opportunity. To accomplish this, she must persuade two of her students (portrayed by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed) to pose as hardened criminals within the treacherous underworld of London.
The cast also includes notable actors such as Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno, and Ian McShane.
The creative team behind the film includes writers Derek Connolly, Colin Trevorrow, Ben Ashenden, and Alexander Owen, with production led by Colin Trevorrow, Walter F. Parkes, and Laurie MacDonald.
