Movies - Shooting Fish


Shooting Fish is a 1997 British film directed and co-written by Stefan Schwartz and co-starred Dan Futterman
and Stuart Townsend
as two con-men with Kate Beckinsale
as their unwilling assistant. It was produced by Wincester Films and partly funded by National Lottery money administered through the UK Arts Council. Shooting Fish aimed to transfer well to international markets that were keen on British films following the success of Four Weddings and a Funeral
, which it draws much influence from.

Plot Summary

Dylan (Futterman) and Jez (Townsend) are two orphans who meet in their twenties and vow to achieve their shared childhood dream of living in a stately home. In pursuit of this dream they spend their days living in a disused gas works, spending as little money as possible and conning the upper classes out of their riches. But during one of their biggest cons, their lives are touched by Georgie (Beckinsale), who needs money to save the Down syndrome foundation that her brother attends. When a con goes wrong, the two find themselves in jail to be released only after their entire fortune is rendered useless because of a recall of £50 notes. It is down to an elaborate plan involving Dylan, Jez and (if they can pursuade her) Georgie, to break them out of jail in order to save their dream.
