The Story.
There is a story here, albeit one that exists mostly as a framework for rival bands of goons to cross paths and start shooting at each other. Most of the hoodlums are after the same thing: the golfball-sized diamond Frankie Four Fingers has heisted and brought to London. Frankie's got a gambling problem and has the misfortune of arriving at a bookie shop just as it's being hit by a gang of bungling thieves. All bets are off at the bookie's in any case, since there's been a last minute switcheroo in the bare-knuckle boxing match meant to be the evening's top attraction. One Punch Mickey (Pitt), having decked one of the contenders earlier in the day, is recruited as a substitute in the match and given orders to go down in the fourth round. Those orders come from Brick Top (Alan Ford), a venomous mob boss given to feeding those who cross him to his pet pigs.
