The stella cast of actors in this film and Guy Richie to add to the list made us think this would be great entertainment.
We were wrong.
sorry but we just didnt get it.
We didnt waste our time as we have plenty of that these lockdown days !!
Wouldnt recommend but then it could just be us.
The film is worth watching because of its brilliant cast, including seeing Brad Pitt in an unconventional “traveller” role. It’s black comedy and at times quite amusing, but it is also very violent and as a film made over 20 years ago is politically incorrect. The plot does not really hang together well and in my view there are much better films than this around in this genre (for example “In Bruges” and “Sexy Beast”).
With this film, following on from Lock Stock, Guy Ritchie cemented his reputation as the master of the Cockney comedy.
Often copied but never bettered, this multiple-plotline film takes in diamond dealers, unlicensed boxing promotors and gangsters. All the stories perfectly fit together and the humour is never bettered.
The cast are uniformly great, whether it's Brad Pitt or ADE as Tyrone. The slightly dated look due to the budget also really helps the film.
Watch this, laugh your head off, then rent RocknRolla, which was in many ways the continuation of this incredible universe. Just avoid Revolver...
