    Johnny Was, I have been.......

    ROBBED of nearly two hours of my life watching this drivel.

    I love Snatch, Lock Stock, Gangster No1, Sexy Beast, Hard Men, etc. and this comes nowhere close. Even 'The Business' puts this in the shade. Not Vinnies best career move and as for Lennox Lewis........he should've stayed at home. Extremely dodgy acting, even dodgier accents, and a plot that's just nothing. Some of the action scenes are good, but not many. I was really looking forward to watching this and was left bitter and disappointed. I don't like dissing films, but this really was dire. Its not the fault of anyone inparticular (maybe director Mark Hammond) but none of it was any good and it was all put together in such a poor fashion, the whole film was just rubbish. Don't make the same mistake I did. Give it a miss !

    dont bother!

    Thought we were in for a good watch with the impressive cast. We thought it was one of the worst films we've ever sat thru. just cant say much more than that.
