a fast paced, original and entertaining crime-romp

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2000)

Guy Ritchie does the near impossible with this hip, ultra fast paced and throughoughly entertaining crime caper film: he out Tarantinos Tarantino. Using lightening fast editing and adreniline induced camera work, he fills the screen with an utterly delightful, if that is the appropriate term, film. Tarantino often is far too self congradulatory about his infinite film knowledge. Ritchie manages to revel in his obvious influences (Scorsese's Mean Streets, Tarantinos Pulp Fiction,as well as A Hard Days Night) while expanding upon those film's themes and energies. And what is more than this, Ritchie infuses his film with a true high moral sense of responsiblity and accountability. A high octane 10 out of 10.
