Bad Day

Synopsis

Two New York art thieves come to England to steal an old master and are philosophising over life, death and the biology of the humble house fly, which eventually leads to a game of chess to see who will carry out an indiscriminate killing. The winner gets to pick the victim. Meanwhile two professional car thieves are doing their own deep thinking on whether or not to call it a day with car theft after one of their accomplices has been murdered. Meanwhile three drug dealers are getting ready for their latest deal and doing some philosophising of their own ...where are they going, what are they doing - Everything goes pear-shaped when the vehicle the car thieves steal belongs to the dealers - as the dealers give chase they accidently cut up a car containing the art thieves - in an ultimate road rage scenario the art thieves decide to kill the person who has just cut them up - This shattering pivotal coincidence leads to carnage, chaos, brutality and murder.
