I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

When this film first started it felt dry like many British films. However as it went on the more I got into it until the end credits rolled and I was blown away. I never expected to like this film so much. It's a real gritty, crime comedy? It's acually hard to place this film into a certain genre because it really does its own thing and benefits from that.

Guy Ritchie's direction used to be spot on fun. In this film, a gambler runs up a debt with ty he worst sort and he & his crew need to find a way to repay it. Their machinations and the antics of the other men in this film touch on slapstick, underlaid with some killer, quick diogue. This is vintage Ritchie. It's only a 9 because some of the British accents make it important for the untrained ear to pay very close attention. And I say vintage Ritchie snice his last King Arthur legend film was such a disappointment.However, this film, Snatch, and Rock n Rolla are a truly fun trilogy and so worth the time spent watching. Binge all three.

A complex, ultra-black comedy packed with violence and profanity, this is one of the best films to come out of Britain in recent years. Ignore the seriousness of other thrillers like FACE, and instead concentrate on the hilarious dialogue and fun characters which this film is full of. From 'Hatchet Harry' to 'Barry the Baptist', this film has an endless parade of clichéd villains who are an absolute delight to watch, not least Vinnie Jones' hard debt collector who enjoys slamming people's heads in a variety of doors.There's an obvious influence here from Tarantino's work, but the two directorial styles are very different. Director Guy Ritchie has some weird, trippy moments in this film, to counteract the smoothness of other scenes. The comedy comes from the increasingly confused situation in the film, and is consistently funny. The acting is all pretty good, with top marks going to Dexter Fletcher ("Guns for show, knives for a pro"). The violence is frequent but never done in a serious matter; there are loads of shoot-outs and bodies everywhere, but they're not to be taken seriously. Basically, this film is perfectly done and one of the liveliest London gangster films ever made. See it!

Great movie about crime,violence,humor,peoples and drug. We can see many see in this movie about friendship and intelligence. Great cast,directing and screenplay. Beautiful the photography especially especially the great and awesome city of London. The mixture of comedy and violence was the thing that most amused me. It take many minutes to understand the plot, but when you get it you will be catch in the strange atmosphere. The director Guy Ritchie is is very very good to make us a wonderful story about criminals and murders, with many guns and murders . Many characters in a strange situation and in a strange story is what make this story awesome , intelligent and very very very good
