Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2009)

This movie is highly underrated in my opinion. Yes, it's on the top 250 but it's still underrated.
This is a crime/comedy movie that is packed with both crime and comedy, and lots of great lines and lots of great twists and memorable scenes and... well... A lot!
The music is different and well-placed, with punk bands meeting music scores, its sure to set the tone. Lots of great camera-work here as well.
Now for the long list of characters: Lets start with the 4 title characters. Jason Flemyng was flawless as Tom, the unofficial leader of the gang who does most of the business work. Dexter Fletcher was excellent as Soap, the "clean" one of the gang, who has a criminal mind and a legitimate job. Nick Moran was interesting as Eddie, the card-playing pro of the gang and son of the town's famous bar owner. Jason Stathan gets a good start on his movie career as Bacon, the street-peddler of the gang.
Now for all of the others (Skip this part if you'd like). P.H. Moriarty is great as Hatchet Harry, leader of a large money lending gang and owner of several porn shops. Lenny McLean was a personal favorite as Barry the Baptist, Harry's enforcer who got his name by drowning people. Vinnie Jones was perfect in his first movie role as Big Chris, Harry's messenger of sorts who loves nothing but his son, Little Chris (played by Peter McNicholl). Frank Harper was super as Dog, the angry, hateful neighbor of Eddie and Bacon and leader of his little "gang". Steve Sweeney was hilarious as Plank, Dog's little messenger boy. Huggy Leaver and and Tony McMahon were good as Paul and John, Dog's gang members. And Ronnie Fox was funny as Mickey, Dog's Bren-carrying gang member. Steve Mackintosh was excellent as Winston, the leader of the pot-growing gang and only serious thinking member of his group. Nicholas Rowe, Nick Marcq, and Charles Forbes were funny as J, Charles and Willie, the stupid pot-growers. Vas Blackwood was well-fit to play Rory Breaker, the angry, serious gang leader. Stephen Marcus was funny as Nick the Greek, the stupid merchandise seller. Jake Abraham and Victor McGuire were a great pair as Dean and Gary, the two morons hired by Barry the Baptist to steal guns for Hatchet Harry. Suzy Ratner was good as semi-conscious Gloria. Sting was great as JD, bar-owner and Eddie's father. And Alan Ford was excellent as Alan the bartender, JD's friend and the Narrator of the movie.
Well, thats all I got. I miss anything? No? Good.
10/10.
