''[[The Parole Officer]]'' was a 2001 film starring [[I'm Alan Partridge|Steve Coogan]] as Simon Garden, a clumsy, socially-inept parole officer who witnesses a murder. Framed by the murderer, Garden must gather together a mismatched band of ex-criminals in order to recover the security tape that would both clear his name and indict the real killer.
 
Critically accepted as [[So Okay It's Average]], it is a rare example of a modern British [[The Caper|heist film]], involving a convoluted scheme and a deliciously evil bad guy.
