"Look, stop me if you've heard this one before..."
There were these two guys who break into a warehouse owned by the boss of the South London Mafia, and while ransacking his office they steal a necklace formerly owned by a Chinatown triad and faster than you can say "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", our erstwhile thieves find themselves kneedeep in the middle of a gang war.
Murder, Mayhem and Martial Arts mix with rapid fire dialogue as our two 'geezers' stumble, bumble and speed talk their way through one dangerous situation after another.
Part "Snatch" and part "Drunken Master", Draining Lizards follows in the long tradition of modern British Gangster films like "Love, Honor and Obey" and "Gangster No. 1".

Kunf Fu Wise-cracking madness.......2004-05-11
At first I was confused and irritated by the American character's accent not sure if it was put on and a little dodgy. But once I got past that and the British characters' constant swearing, rather than putting me off, the film pulled me in with it's clever -RESERVOIR DOGS with a side order of Chop Suey - narrative.
It's simple, two amateur hoods bungle a robbery, get caught and have to protect a gangsters belongings till midnight, having to battle various Triad gangs along the way......
Unlike many independent features, this one actually managed to pull off some ambitious fight sequences, had some interesting characters and kept the narrative together right till the end -even though it was set in one location.
It was genuinely entertaining. Not perfect, but very capable and well worth checking out if you want something different!.
Go on try it. You know you'll love it.
