lame is too kind

Rating: 3/10 (2 February 2001)

Madonna must be a perfect match for Guy Ritchie because he's clearly more interested in making pop videos than movies. The direction is way over the top, the characters are all one-dimensional east end stereotypes, and it's just impossible to buy into his romanticised view of thugs and criminals who are a bit dim, a bit cuddly, and alright blokes when all's said and done. Yes, Brad Pitt's Irish boxer is great but it's the only highlight in an otherwise dire film. I'm ashamed that an Englishman could come up with this kind of tripe.
