4	''4.3.2.1'' is a British comic-dramatic crime thriller co-directed by Creator/NoelClarke (who also wrote the script and played one of the supporting characters) and Mark Davis. It stars Creator/EmmaRoberts, Creator/TamsinEgerton, Creator/OpheliaLovibond and Creator/ShanikaWarrenMarland.

6	The film follows four young women over three days in London and New York as they try to deal with personal problems and get slightly mixed up in an international diamond heist. Think of it as a British version of ''Film/{{Go}}'' and you wouldn't be a million miles off.
7	----
8	!!This film contains examples of:
9	* BigApplesauce: About a quarter of the film is set in New York. The rest is in London.
10	* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Kelly]]
11	* TheCameo: Several, mostly in the New York section (Creator/MandyPatinkin, Eve, Creator/KevinSmith, Creator/AlexanderSiddig). Noel Clarke, meanwhile, approaches Creator/MNightShyamalan levels of self-adoration (say what you like about Shyamalan, but at least ''he'' hasn't appeared on any of his films' posters); he plays Emma Roberts' boss and having written the script, he has her describe him as hot ("Strangely sexy though").
12	* DirectToDVD: Like Emma Roberts' other British movie ''Film/WildChild'', this never got a theatrical release in the US. It can't have helped that (again like ''Wild Child'') it didn't exactly have British cinemagoers lining up to see it..
13	* DrivenToSuicide
14	* ExtremeDoormat: Jo, who lets her sister take advantage of her and her boss push her around. She later lampshades it, and notes she is sick of it.
15	* FanService: Shannon has a shower scene (although she's shot from the shoulders up - she's also the only one of the four who doesn't have an underwear scene), Jo appears in a swimming costume and later in her underwear for absolutely no reason other than 'just because', Cassandra lounges in her underwear in her hotel room before having a sex scene, and then there's Kerrys who for various reasons, mainly her long detailed lesbian sex scene that goes on far longer than necessary, is essentially the MsFanservice of the film.
16	* GirlOnGirlIsHot
17	* LesbianJock: Kerrys. We don't actually ''see'' her play sports, but she's obviously in ridiculously good shape, pulling off moves that would make a [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Slayer]] pause.
18	* LipstickLesbian: Kerrys... sort of. Her aggressive personality is more along the lines of a ButchLesbian but she wears tons of makeup, has long hair and wears very conventionally sexy clothing. Her girlfriend, on the other hand, is a [[MultipleReferencePun straight Lipstick Lesbian]] (no pun intended).
19	* PluckyGirl: All four main characters.
20	* PoliceAreUseless: Seems to be what the characters believe considering the fact that in Cassandra's story she doesn't call them and in Joanne's story they don't tell the truth to the police.
21	** Cassandra ''does'' say that she call the police if her own investigation doesn't work, and she just wants to do it herself.
22	** Jo ''couldn't'' say anything [[spoiler:since Tee was still right there, but she does turn him in later.]]
23	* RedHerring: The first time we see Kerrys, she seems downright villainous pulling a gun on Shannon, and the (chronologically earliest) scene establishes her as violent. [[spoiler: In fact, she's just doing it because she is trying to stop Shannon from jumping off a bridge, [[RuleOfCool always wanted to order someone down with a gun]] and is, well, [[TooDumbToLive an idiot]].]]
24	* SimultaneousArcs
25	* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/{{Go}}''.
26	* TemptingFate: "Nothing's going to happen to same store two nights in a row". Particularly since the audience already knows what will happen.
27	* TitleDrop: The code to Cassandra's panic room.
28	* TwoferTokenMinority: Kerrys is black and a lesbian.
29	* VirginityMakesYouStupid: Cassandra starts out like this.
30	* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: "Five days, four girls, what could possibly go wrong?" Cue [[spoiler:Kelly also on the plane]].
