It is directed by James Crow and stars Billy Murray, Nick Moran, Frank Harper, Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott, Julian Glover and Bruce Payne.

[2] An underworld kingpin, John Morgan (Billy Murray), returns to London from semi-retirement in Turkey, along with his wife Sadie (Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott), triggering a cataclysm of violence, retribution and murder.

[10] In Jolliffe's view, 'Murray, even approaching 80, revels in being the headline act' and plays 'brilliantly off Nick Moran (who is superb in the film), as two opposing forces collide again after years apart'.

[11] Crow praised Bruce Payne for giving a 'brief but stunning turn as Damien, the arch bad guy' and also stated that Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott gave 'a brave, at times jaw-dropping performance as the photogenic matriarch Sadie'.

[12] Another reviewer stated that 'Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott as Morgan’s long suffering wife Sadie, puts in a really ballsy performance', but that Billy Murray and Nick Moran 'carry proceedings throughout doing all the heavy lifting'.

[13] They concluded that 'for fans of the genre [gangster thrillers], Nemesis is going to be a big hit as all the tropes are in there, guns, blood, violence, betrayal, unnecessary nudity and a lot of sneering and swearing'.

[17] Carl Marsh stated that one scene with John Morgan (Billy Murray) and Bruce Payne’s character Damien Osborne reminded him 'of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino meeting' in the Michael Mann film Heat and 'was masterful'.

[20] Although Marshall thought that 'the pace vastly improves, and the audience does take some exciting and surprising turns in the intense finale', he lamented that 'after so much time devoted to set-up, the payoff still falls somewhat flat'.
