The usual Guy Ritchie gangster romp
Anybody who has seen a Guy Ritchie gangster flick will not be disappointed. The usual colourful characters, language and violence run right through with never a dull moment. Expect the plot twists and turns common in his films. Hugh Grant's performance is a fresh change from his usual stiff upper lip, straight laced British posh chap he is famous for.

A great film with great actors and well directed. I watched the extended edition and it flew by for me despite being close to 3 hours long. It's not as violent or graphic as the likes of Casino, Goodfellas but it is as equally as immersing as those gangster films. The fact it is based on a true story makes it even more interesting. If you like gangster or mafia films you'll love this!

Movie Rating
A great crime thriller with a a good cast. For a change for a Guy Ritchie gangster film this isn't about East end gangsters in London and there is no humour in this. It makes a nice change and the story is very good. The plot gets a bit twisted and can be hard to follow at times. However it's one of the better gangster films I've seen in a long while. Slick and stylish with some great twists.

Good Gangster Film
Far from being in the same league as Goodfellas, Casino. However this is an enjoyable British film showing the rise and fall of an East London gangster getting involved in the drug scene in Spain. Set in the 80's with the typical fashion of the time but with a great soundtrack to boot. Quite violent, brutal and with a lot of swearing as well but an interesting story all the same.

"Niggaz4Life is just… both the De La Soul albums had a cinematic quality to them, you can see those songs. With that being said, [on this album] Dr Dre had this sonic brilliance and pristine gangster music that just sounded brilliant. And it was orchestrated and sequenced very brilliantly, too. It seems like an awful lot of thought went into it. To me, it wasn't Gangsta with an 'a', it was Gangster with an 'er' - with a suit and tie. This is the business gangster; this isn't hold your gun sideways, this is Scorcese. Ice Cube not being there for this album was part of the appeal; everyone wanted to know what they'd be able to achieve without him. And it's a triumph."

A great gangster film following a guy who is released from jail and tries to go straight. Will his friends, past and reputation let him. If you like Goodfellas, Casino you'll enjoy this.

"One of the greatest British gangster films ever made in the Thatcher era. Bob Hoskins is at his best, and there’s a small part for the actor who plays Charlie in BBC’s Casualty. —GB"

"A superlative French gangster movie, beautifully shot around Pigalle. Melville creates in Bob an ethical, mysterious crook with loads of style. Supporting actress Isabelle Corey plays a bar girl you don’t want to get involved with."
