Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Crime with very little punishment is the order of the day in this derivative British gang flick.

Ashley Chin writes and stars as Tyson, leader of a thieves' kitchen that uses girls to infiltrate the flash apartments of rich City boys; robbery with violence has seldom looked easier.

Tyson's not all bad, though; he's putting his 15-year-old sister (Letitia Wright) through school and finding common ground with a college student (Ashley Madekwe) new to London.

It begins quite promisingly before succumbing to earnest sloganeering on victimhood and the cliché of a crim's one last job before going straight.

By the end, it crams its message into a student essay that's recited in class and greeted, bewilderingly, with applause.
