  Pure Rubbish
  
  One of the worst films I have ever seen. I cannot believe this film ever made in into general release.

  "It's been emotional" (but not as we know it).
  
  Guy Ritchie seems to have made a huge impression with his directorial approach over in Hollywood, as Joe Carnahan seems to have totally plagiarized his style ... read more »

  tries too hard and fails
  
  wants to be a glossy lock stock type of film and misses on all angles. No character building and no humour of any kind and you very quickly start to not care ... read more »

  Mindless Mayhem
  
  Masquerading as a fresh hip take on the Mafia hit man caper, quickly degenerates into endless montages of gratuitous violence and gore.

  Great characters, great gunplay
  
  This is a fast-paced action thriller with dark humour and good set-pieces. Not exactly original but who cares when its as entertaining as this.
