Four eclectic thugs converge in an abandoned apartment to assist their friend, (seated forward) in torturing and murdering his wife's lover. Obscene banter and hysterically funny quips juxtapose the terror that is omni present in the room. The violent nature of the husband is drained with his acceptance of the loss of the affections of his wife.

The acting by everyone is sublime. This film was made by the same director as Sexy Beast, and it shows.
