What happens

Shooting Fish is a 1997 British romantic crime comedy film directed by Stefan Schwartz and co-written with Richard Holmes, starring Dan Futterman and Stuart Townsend as two con men with Kate Beckinsale as their unwilling assistant. The film was produced by Winchester 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. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 17 October 1997 and in the United States on 1 May 1998. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
