Likes: This is a film that Not alot of our American neighbors will understand as this is as true as British as you can get with the London gangster style film that Guy Ritchie is so known for. As most fans of Ritchie will know that he started out of nowhere with the film Lock stock and two smoking barrels and then with Snatch if you have seen these two films then you know what to expect with this film.
Although if you havent yet watched those films, I will warning, if you're someone that is easly offend then this film is not for you, as the film contents some less that PC culture that will offend you pretty easy if you are. In typical Guy Ritchie fashion, you get the rude and rambunctious dialogue throughout the film which can be a little offensive at time so like I said if you're easy to offend then this film isnt for you.
Unlike Lock stock and snatch im pleasantly surprised this one was actually funny in a few places, some of it actually comes from Colin Farrell who hides this comical side, special with the film being an 18 cert film he allowed to just let loose, which give he's character a more funnier side. You get this from alot of character throughout the film, including Charlie Hunnam who plays a right-hand man of the main character of the film played brilliantly by Matthew McConaughey who bring a Flair to the gangster style which actually works for his acting skills as an actor, as he seems to fit in quite well.
Charlie Hunnam does a bang-up job with his role, giving a quiet man that just stands in the background of his boss, but when told to do something he, not a man to be crossing with, with certain situation it end up in some outright hilarious moments throughout the film which give the film alot of entertainment. Hugh Grant done pretty well he as well giving the film a plot twist which doesn't reveal itself until the third act. With Michelle Dockery who plays Rosalind the wive of Mickey Pearson (Matthew) is allowed to let loose as well, though she might look like a beautiful she just as vicious and dangerous as Mickey Pearson is she show it in the film.
So if you a Guy Ritchie fan you won't be disappointed in this film, but like I said if you easy to offend this film isnt for you
Dislikes: There are a few pacing issues and a few tropes in throughout the film, but other than that the film is not bad.
Overall: High offensive if you're easily offended, Good funny moment, great acting.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 7.8 out of 10 for Gangster style film
