Self consciously hip gangster movie from Guy Ritchie.
Four likely lads get involved in a crime ring that is way out of their depth. Initially there intention is simply to pull of a gambling scam, but events soon spiral out of control as the scam goes wrong and they end up in the hole to the tune of £500,000.
The leads are likeable and, with the exception of the two scouse chaps, everyone puts in an impressive performance.
Vinnie Jones is amazing as the hired muscle.
All round highly entertaining and good to see a British movie doing something a little different than another gritty Northern drama.
Good fun.
