Gun blasting, fist flying action and then theres our Vinny and Brad....

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2000)

This film is a blast and a must see for all of you. I reckon that if this had been released b4 'Lock, Stock.....' then it would have got more acclaim than it will now just for the fact that it is more of the same. Parts of Lock Stock creep through ( vinnys opening scene, similar characters, classic one liners) while being good, does make you think that Guy Ritchie has played the safe option of using tried and trusted material as opposed to something more original. The characters are good - Boris 'the blade' is a great character just for the fact he just wont die!!, Brad Pitt suits playing the irish boxer down to the ground. Some good use of alternate camera angles and you have an entertaining film - possibly the best ive seen this year (except SHAFT). 8 out of 10
