A fresh new perspective on our nation’s capital comes courtesy of Spiker (Russian star Andrei Chadov) and Cobakka (Prince Caspian himself, Ben Barnes), a pair of recently arrived Russian immigrants.
Based on the bestselling diaries of two real-life shysters, this Brit film’s fast-paced first half plays like a jovial crime caper as our antiheroes work their way through
every scam in The Paranoid Racist’s Big Book Of Asylum Seekers.
