A Crazy, Twisting Crime Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2011)

This is one of my favorite films. Guy Ritchie's writing is nearly perfect in this comedy of coincidences, that aren't really coincidences, but are instead the inevitable result of the multiple story lines meshing together perfectly in this dark comedy. The movie is fragmented initially, but this is required in order to establish each of the rich stories and characters that go along with them. Everything fits together so well that I cannot help but smile as the film unfolds. Ritchie's directing is very stylish and amazing to watch, particularly in the various montages that combine inverted camera movements and still images with a remarkable effect. The accompanying music is fantastic as well. This is absolutely a must see for any fan of the crime genre.
