This one I truly enjoy! I have since watched this movie a couple of times and it really stands up to repeat watches. Like many of Guy's movies the gangsters theme is built around a story of recovering of a precious item (Snatch comes to mind?). I like the breezy story telling and the creative ways in which visuals are used to aid story telling. There are no spoilers as I really recommend those who like gangster comedies to catch this one.
Scenes to watch out for: The scene where Bob (Tom Hardy) finally confronts his best mate (Gerald Butler) about his sexuality. The setting of everyone supposedly being tough gangsta guys makes the eventual punch line ("I want you") hillarious! It was so good I almost fell off my chair! Good stuff!
I thought Tom Wikinson's character as the aging gangster had a few good lines and he carried his character well. Nice to see an actor of his caliber still in action ... Well enough of reading this review go and watch the movie already!!
A bit of preview ... check out the opening scene ....
Score: 8/10
