Rating:  - Don't Miss this Gem
It's been a little over a year now since I first saw this movie, and it still sticks with me. Everyone I have recommended this gem to says they have not been disappointed. At times subtle, at times like a kick in the head (literally), all the players turn in superb performances. You'll never listen to Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" again wiithout thinking of this movie!
Rating: - Best In Its Class
British crime movie in the vain of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch. It's mostly a drama but there is action and dark comedy mixed in. Great fleshed-out characters. Soundtrack includes some great '80s brit-pop/new wave. Top notch acting by everyone involved. You can definitely see why Daniel Craig got the Bond gig. Takes itself a bit more serious than Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and it's actually a better movie. In my opinion, the pinnacle (so far) of the plot -twisting British crime movies.
Rating: - subtitles?
great film...but hard to follow if your not a brit...you will watch this one more than once!
Rating:  - Great movie - poor BluRay
Great english gangster movie.
Poor BluRay transfer, at least for the European version, because of poor color calibration, aliasing and MPEG2 encoding. Of course, it's better than DVD but far below the best BluRays.
Rating: - Great Sleeper
This is one of those films that really was overlooked. When you see this you will understand why Daniel Craig was cast as James Bond. One word of warning, turn on the English subtitles. The film deals with English Cockney gangs and the think dialect is VERY hard to hear.
