Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Raven-1969 Stupidity can be a saving grace, for such an unfortunate state of mind causes the unexpected to happen (wisdom and foolishness are much alike, for both are indifferent to the opinions of the world). In the violent, testosterone laden underworld of London several unhinged, inexperienced and desperate characters tempt fate in this manner. They pool their resources and talents in the hope of winning a high stakes poker game. Of course, it does not go as planned and they find themselves at the mercy of thugs, bounty hunters, loan sharks, mobsters and other assorted wankers. Multiple people converge on a single target, and the smartest - or dumbest - will emerge from the fray.Guy Ritchie has a pulse on the dark humor, snarky characters and viciousness of the London underworld and it is fascinating and thrilling to behold. This low-budget first film brought him fame and comparisons to Tarantino. Insults fly as much as bullets. The soundtrack, including the Stone Roses, is quite good. I saw the film twice and liked it better the first time. Perhaps Ritchie films are losing the initial quirkiness and uniqueness that gave them luster? For Americans to try to get a grip on British English, subtitles are essential.

umudbayramli At the point when this film initially began it felt dry like numerous British movies. Anyway as it went on the more I got into it until the point that the end credits rolled and I was overwhelmed. I never anticipated that would like this film to such an extent. It's a genuine lumpy, wrongdoing satire? It's actually difficult to put this film into a specific kind since it truly does its own thing and advantages from that.

patm77 Guy Ritchie's direction used to be spot on fun. In this film, a gambler runs up a debt with ty he worst sort and he & his crew need to find a way to repay it. Their machinations and the antics of the other men in this film touch on slapstick, underlaid with some killer, quick diogue. This is vintage Ritchie. It's only a 9 because some of the British accents make it important for the untrained ear to pay very close attention. And I say vintage Ritchie snice his last King Arthur legend film was such a disappointment.However, this film, Snatch, and Rock n Rolla are a truly fun trilogy and so worth the time spent watching. Binge all three.

Diego Amado Olivas Arana I love this movie. It was the first movie were I saw Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones. Big Chris became actually one of my fav characters in movies, after watching this one, like 10 years ago. I've just watched for the 3rd time in my life and indeed, this movie is pretty accurate, the dialogues, how it put you into context, also the way of introducing the characters -something he tried to repeat in Snatch-, the random performance of Sting, also this dark filter in the whole scenography, that gives you this weird feeling of dirty suburbs, of dangerous grey alleys... Is a good representation of London when it comes to the heist sub-genre. Is curious how good it is in comparison to other Ritchie's movies. Although is the first one of his filmography, is also the finest. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
