Adam Deacon’s star-stuffed parody arrives on digital platforms next week ahead of a boxing day rental release.


The latest film from BAFTA-winner Adam Deacon will be available to download and keep on digital platforms from the 12th December, before becoming rent-able (presumably from those same ‘digital platforms’) from the 26th December.

We’ve not managed to catch this one yet, but the synopsis (and a stacked cast list) have our curiosity piqued. Here is that very same synopsis:

In this parody of the UK urban genre Riko and Kane have got it all … big dreams, no respect and a fifteen grand debt. Could things get any worse?

Yes! So, it’s time to man up and finally be taken seriously as “Roadmen”. Once putting their heads together on various ways to make some money, they decide to rob a megastar in a nightclub toilet and hold up the local bank, but things inevitably don’t go to plan!! However, somehow a misunderstanding leads them to be desired and acquired for business with one of East London’s toughest firms, putting them in the line of fire to the firm’s arch-rivals.

Can Riko and Kane live up to their name? Will Riko win the affection of Tamara and if he does, will Tyrese, Tamara’s lunatic stepbrother, allow Riko to live? Will his life be worth living if the local London Feds draw a line back to our duo? Anything can happen when Riko and Kane are on the scene in this new action-packed urban comedy.

We’re also going to give you the cast list again, because, actually, ‘stacked’ doesn’t quite cover it. Sumotherhood stars, among others:

Adam Deacon, Jazzie Zonzolo, Danny Sapani, Richie Campbell, London Hughes, Vas Blackwood, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Jaime Winstone, Peter Serafinowicz, Arnold Jorge, Eddie Kadi, Ella Vaday, Charlie Sloth, Lethal Bizzle, Megaman, Denise van Outen, Tamzin Outhwaite, Jeremy Corbyn, introducing Leomie Anderson with Jennifer Saunders and Ed Sheeran.

Ed Sheeran’s getting quite the acting portfolio now, isn’t he?
