A STORY OF SEX, THUGS & ROCK ‘N’ ROLL.
I tried to write a recap of the story but gave up. After all, why bother trying to sort out who did what to whom when director Guy Ritchieās script should be the last thing on anyoneās mind. Suffice it to say that itās a tale about London gangsters who try to put one over on each other, as well as a Russian real estate developer. Ritchie allegedly intended to make this film the first chapter of a new franchise; if youāve seenĀ Lock, Stock and Two Smoking BarrelsĀ (1998), you know what to expect. Visually arresting, and Tom Wilkinson is terrific as a thug who thinks too highly of himself.
