Blue Iguana (film)  Blue Iguana is a 2018 British romantic comedy thriller film written and directed by Hadi Hajaig. The film stars Sam Rockwell, Phoebe Fox, Ben Schwartz, Peter Ferdinando, Simon Callow, Al Weaver, Robin Hellier, and Frances Barber. The film was released theatrically in the United States on 24 August 2018. Eddie (Sam Rockwell) and Paul (Ben Schwartz) are a couple of low-level petty criminals, who are working out their parole in a New York diner. Enter British lawyer Katherine (Phoebe Fox), who offers them ready cash to come to London and intercept a valuable package in transit. The duo arrives in London, team up with their British confederate Tommy Tresham (Al Weaver) and snatch the bag in the main hall of London's Natural History Museum. This puts them on the wrong side of psychotic local villain Deacon Bradshaw (Peter Ferdinando) and his boss Arkardy (Peter Polycarpou). They learn that Arkady and Bradshaw are planning to steal a fabulous gem called the Blue Iguana and decide to stake out Bradshaw's pub in a bid to nab the gem for themselves. Hajaig has stated that the film is his homage to American indie movies of the 1980s:  The film was shot in London. One large sequence was shot in the main hall of London's Natural History Museum. The 35mm format 4k Arriflex Amira camera was chosen, as its adaptability served the indie look the filmmakers strove to achieve. Director of photography Ian Howes worked to ensure the film maintained a filmic and analogue styling to reference American indie films of the 1980s. Londoner Peter Ferdinando maintained Deacon Bradshaw's South Yorkshire accent on and off the set throughout the entire shoot. Sam Rockwell's attempt at a Cockney accent is a key running gag. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a critics approval rating of 37% based on 27 reviews, with an average rating of 4.6/10.
