tom,soap,bacon,and Eddie

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2008)

I never thought that i would like an English caper comedy,, but once again i was wrong,, delightfully so this time,, Guy Ritchie has come up with a full blown masterpiece of cinema. This is Jason Statham's first picture, he plays a odd character named "Bacon". along with Soap, who likes to keep his hands clean , Eddie the card shark,, and Tom the businessman, the four proceed to rip off London's elite underground criminals,, in order to get 500,000 quid to pay back Hatchet Harry, a man who owns a small porn industry, Eddie's dad won a bar from Harry, and now Harry wants the bar back, there are at least 4 different groups of criminals in this one,, Eddie's gang, Winston's gang,, Hatchet Harry's goons,, and Rory Breaker's thugs, the funny thing in this movie is that really no one really knows who is stealing from who in this one,, and there are lot's of surprises and turns in this movie,, you don't see a lot of it coming,, there are other fascinating characters in this one also,, like Barry the Baptist,, that's Harry's henchman,, Big Chris,, Nick the Greek,, just to name a few. the music is also very good here, and for a film being shot in London , you don't get that touristy feeling , a perfect crime caper that will make you laugh so hard you won't believe it.
