A thoroughly entertaining movie with action and good story lines.

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2004)

Being a Brit in the US it was refreshing to hear so many Americans in KC raving about this movie. They did admit that it was hard for them to understand some of the conversations but I think that everyone that I showed the movie to or had seen it because of word of mouth found it to be an very entertaining movie. This was especially surprising with its limited release at the movies.
This movie has it all - gore, lots of laughter, action and suspense. This film has so many levels to it that even watching it again and again is a joy. The filming techniques and the music help to round off the multiple story lines.
The actors are great and I would not like to meet any of the bad guys in a dark alley. I was not aware of many of them (Sting, Moriarty and Jones withstanding).Although Vinnie Jones played his part well in the movie I did not think that he was the pick of the bunch. P.H. Moriarty is wonderful.
After watching this I just knew that I wanted to watch any Guy Ritchie movies that came out.
