Summary

Review
A star rating of 2 out of 5.
Terry Staunton
Guy Ritchie returns to the world of geezers and gangsters that established him in the late 1990s, but the result is a stuttering retread of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels with little of the spark or style of the director's lauded debut feature. Matthew McConaughey stars as a drugs kingpin looking to cash out his marijuana empire, triggering schemes, plots, crosses and double-crosses by an assortment of London underworld figures all looking to become the next top dog. Cue a narrative that meanders in various directions and loses sight of itself all too often, peppered with questionable racial epithets and a seemingly wilful disregard for anything remotely resembling political correctness. That's a pity, because some of the performances are terrific (Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, Eddie Marsan) and deserve to be in a film of more maturity, focus and substance.
