Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

John Ferguson

Widely regarded as the best British crime movie since The Long Good Friday, this cheerfully amoral debut feature from Guy Ritchie has a youthful exuberance that's truly infectious. The superb cast is spiced up with the presence of celebrities such as Sting and, especially, Vinnie Jones in a well-received henchman-with-a-heart role. The action revolves around young cardsharp Eddy (Nick Moran), who loses £500,000 he doesn't have to crime king Hatchet Harry. With a week to come up with the shortfall, he and mates Dexter Fletcher, Jason Flemyng and Jason Statham plan to hijack the proceeds of a robbery hatched by their gangster neighbours.
