"Bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with?"

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2004)

After that quote, he goes on to say "Guns!" But by saying "bad breath, colorful language, feather duster.." he couldn't be more right on. This movie, done by Guy Ritchie, the same guy who would go on to do the similar and equally entertaining Snatch a few years later, is bloody brilliant. With touches of such predecessors as Trainspotting and Reservoir Dogs, Guy Ritchie was able to make a movie that was at the same time thrilling and funny, with exciting visual and narrative style. The plot is confusing and simple at the same time, only because of the abundance of colorfully language characters, who are all stupid. If it's one thing about Guy Ritchie's films it's that his characters are obviously very dumb, but the ones with even the slightest hint of good sense and good morals will come out a little bit less bruised than the rest. This is an already classic movie with a lot of quirks and a lot of hilarious, exciting, bad-breathed, colorful, feather dusting sequences. Good Cockney acting.
My grade: 9/10
