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 !
If you like Vinne Jones you need to get this film, his Irish accent is brilliantlly awful and the film was a bit OTT.
But if you like a fast story, action and humour you will like this.
Lennox Lewis i thought played a very good part and was a not a bad actor as i was expecting for a boxer. Samantha Mumba also done not to bad also.
Overall if u like the usual british shoot em up its worth the watchin especially for Vinnie's accent gives u a good laugh.
