Dig Your Own Grave

Big-hearted Bob takes pity on crooked accountant Sammy Smith - who's bent on outliving everyone so he can enjoy the loot he embezzled from Bob's Boss. Cut-backs in the underworld see The Boss dispatch a gang of ruthless freelancers to sort out a tangled low-budget plot that recalls the off-beat B&W heyday of the British B-movie.
