'Lock Stock...' but 20 times more annoying

Rating: 2/10 (6 July 2002)

This movie is really dreadful. Like 'Lock Stock...' but 20 times more annoying. There are loads of famous actors (and Vinnie Jones), all wasted in stupid and underwritten 'character' parts. The dialogue is cliched mockney rubbish, the plot borrows totally from every other british crime pic of the last 50 years, the whole thing is just embarrassingly awful. In fact, the only good thing is Brad Pitt's performance as an Irish gypsy. Guy Ritchie should really stop pretending to be an east-end gangster and turn his talents towards something less annoying.
