Directed by Guy Ritchie…biggest names being Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro. The plot, similarily to Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is huge mess of people and confusion…in a good way. It’s good, and it’s a style that he makes work.
There are people searching for the monster of a diamond…and people stealing it off of each other, along with a series of rigged boxing matches with a participant that isn’t exactly willing to win and lose when he is supposed to.
Brad Pitt plays Mickey…the gypsy boxer who has a mind of his own. Definitely my favourite character by far…They joke in the film about them having an accent that is not understandable…it not being English or Irish, but seemingly a combination of them both, mixed with pure gibberish. However, I found myself understanding him quite easily…and I’ve come to the conclusion, that his accent sounds extremely similar to that of a Newfie! I know a few people, a friends family actually, that come from Newfoundland and that’s exactly what they sound like. Anyway, off track.
I was actually a little disappointed by how similar I found it to be to Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels…
Some of the same actors were used, some of the characters were extremely similar, the plot was a similar tangled web of murders and stealing.
It was still good. I just would have liked more to see something a little different from the director…because I really enjoyed Lock Stock…
The short, witty comments almost make this movie for me. I laughed non stop…
It was good…I’m going to stop, cause Im not even going to attempt to begin to loosely describe the plot.
