Classic film

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2006)

I am an admitted Anglophile, but this film is simply stunning. Ritchie channels the spirit of Damon Runyon, refines the plot twists from the confusing Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and makes a fantastic film.
I won't even describe the plot because I wouldn't dare ruin the surprises. Suffice to say various elements of the criminal underworld are after a large diamond. The characters are unforgettable, no one seems to be acting, they are simply existing, and Alan Ford's low level gangster 'Brick Top Polford' is the single greatest character I've seen in any film in the last couple of years.
Better than Pulp Fiction.
