Putting the cock in shotgun.

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2001)

The editing for this movie is astounding in my opinion. The appropriate use of slow-motion and music in this film give it a quality that could only be described as a "Guy Ritchie film." The main feature of this film that I noticed at first however, is the noticeable lack of presence of women. The domination of masculinity presents very interesting possibilities for meaning in the film, with the character Hatchet Harry being the epitomal representation for masculinity: A powerful man who sits atop his sex shop in his second-story office. Yet I believe that while the film begins to glorify masculinity, the ending denounces it. However if you're not one for reading into film, I believe this movie carries with it an amazing story with unpredictable plot twists. Guy Ritchie has a very difinitive style that is easy to fall in love with, as well as a dark sense of humor that can be easily admired.
