Absolutely great movie; without giving out to much to the plot, the way the movie is told through the interaction of two visible "main" protagonists is great. It isn't a high action, multiple explosions, exaggerated gasoline fires style of movie...don't go into it expecting that. It is a action movie with a good storyline that follows the 3 main keys to a good story. It shows you the story, interspersed with key action sequences. The way they build the story through those action sequences is key along with the interactions between the two characters telling the story. If you are tired of the regular boom, boom, fire, explosion, massive gun fight, unrealistic battles (okay, there is one or two of those) through cities with no interactions from law enforcement or civilians, and want to watch a thinking persons action movie, I recommend this one highly!

Nothing like snatch, the excellent man from UNCLE or at least rock'n rolla. I'll be a bit harsh but it it lacked flavor when you know its a Guy Ritchie movie. It is barely holding due to the amazing cast and acting. Script is lacking an engaging story with fully fledged characters. My two cents.

I wanted a Guy Ritchie movie and I got one. Plot twists, action, great acting and some humour. Gotta say it's great to see Hugh Grant act against type. Agree with some of the comments here that its not Snatch or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but its better than 6Underground by miles.
