One of the best crime films

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2005)

Among movies in the crime genre, this is one of the best. It exudes an air of coolness through the whole movie and it is what makes it so cool. Besides, of course, the snappy dialogue, the wonderful characters, and the dark humor that are all in this film.
It's about four guys who all pool their money to play a game of poker, only to end up losing and owing a lot of money to a crime bigwig. This plot remains fast-paced and fresh throughout the film, wasting no time in bringing out the next scene. The ultra-fast method they deliver their lines also plays into the movie's strong points. It becomes almost incomprehensible at times, but it's all okay because it is such a cool way of going through the movie. It also contains a kind of humor in it, the kind that persuades you to laugh at all of their hopeless situations and blunderings. These poor guys are really up a creek and it's funny.
This is just great entertainment from Guy Ritchie. I don't really see anything that I hate. It's just a good movie.
