I’ve owned this DVD for quite some time, but I hadn’t watched it in a while. A recent viewing brought to mind just how much I like Guy Ritchie. His ability to drive multiple storylines toward a single outcome is matched only by P.T. Anderson. His fast-cut scene changes remind me of some artsy innovation from Requiem For A Dream. His visual conveyance of though brings to mind an ability to convey his story without using words that I haven’t really seen since Pink Floyd’s The Wall. When you take all of that and add the remarkable cast of actors seen here, you’re left with a brilliant movie.

I think a lot of the merging stories kind of movies started more with lock stock and two smoking barrels, but that’s probably just my ignorance because that is the first of those kind that I saw. This one has more well known actors and is just as crazy. If you liked this, check out lock stock and two smoking barrels.
