Ray Collishaw and Mickey Mannock are two highly respected gangster cousins approaching retirement. Their visions of a relaxing retreat to a straight life are ruined when their gang loses a massive overseas delivery of the Russian Mafia's cocaine during a storm. Chased by enraged Russians and a vengeful police detective, the mob races across the continent through London, Amsterdam and Berlin in a bid to find a way to pay the Mafia back. Ray and Mickey hatch a devious robbery plan disguised as football hooligans for the upcoming England Vs. Germany match; they are about to embark on a diamond heist that could either define or terminate their criminal careers - and with a double agent among them, who knows which way it could go?
This gritty gangster thriller is the directorial debut of actor Frank Harper ('Bend It Like Beckham', 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', 'The Football Factory', 'This Is England'). He is also, predictably, the film's star again playing the 'hard-man' role of which he is famed for. 'St George's Day' is a story thick with betrayal, loyalty and family; a gripping British gangster film set to go up against the classics. It has an autumn UK release date of September 7th 2012.
