    Shockingly poor.

    This film is painful. Considering the cast they had to work with, it's a miracle anyone could produce something as shockingly mundane and uninspired as this. To all the people who gave this 4 and 5 stars - WERE WE WATCHING THE SAME FILM? It's blasphemy to compare this to Lock Stock in any sense. It lacks any sophistication, the dialogue is functional at best, the editing and music are hectic to the point of nausea and the 'violence' is laughably tame. Whoever said this film was brutal needs to start watching some more films. In a nutshell, do not waste your rental on this film, I wish I hadn't.

    The trailer is better than the film

    Ok so here's the big scoop! the trailer is the best bit of the film. The film itself is an amazing let down, with the cast assembled I was hoping for a lot better effort. Total waste of time, had I of been in the cinema to see it I would of demanded my money back!
