This is out on Reg. 2 PAL DVD, hits the US this summer. I thought this movie kicked a$$. I really enjoyed it. It has the a much more romanticized and sweeping and hardboiled film grammar of Lock, Stock and Snatch minus the comedy… and as for tone its more similar in tone to the Long Good Friday or DePalma’s Scarface. If you went into the movie expecting it to be like Lock, Stock or Snatch and too just laugh you a$$ off and have a good time, you will probably be sorely disappointed… but if you go in expecting a much more serious movie… I think you will dig this. It was shot for $3 mil and it looks like a $50 mil Hollywood production, which is no doubt one of the reasons why Matthew Vaughn was picked to direct X-Men 3. Since this is a lower budget movie… there are a couple of sequences or takes, that I wish were held longer or went on longer… but obviously for budget reasons they couldn’t pull it off.
