PROS: The movie was entertaining, start to finish. It was based on a true story. Actors did a good job. It was suspenseful - you never knew what was going to happen next. All around good movie!
CONS: This might not be a negative thing for some people, but for me personally, there was too much unnecessary nudity. Lots of nudity for no reason. Again - not a problem for some people, but I tend to like things to be PG-13 rated in the area of nudity... especially because it was very unnecessary. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

Read More Big fan of Jason Statham, and this one did not disappoint. Not his typical gun toting, a** kicking, car chasing film, but has good story line (based on a true story of crime and corruption in Britain) and keeps you entertained.

No time even to wink. The mere fact that the movie was based on a true happening made it that much more interesting. The acting, the accent peculiar to the members of the gang's neighborhood was excellent. I truly enjoyed this movie--it's my kind of film. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More A lot of complaints about this really good caper flick are that there isn't enough action. After growing to love Jason Statham in Guy Ritchie's movies the last thing I wanted to see him in was another mindless action flick. This movie was well paced and didn't need a ton of action to keep me interested. (And for those that think it was slow it only adds to my thought that we as a society are crippled with ADD.) People also seem to complain about the British accents. One word: Captions. It has served me well while watching TV and movies from across the pond. Now go get a proper drink and enjoy.

It was difficult keeping track of all the players as there were so many. The acting was well done and the events were believable, not the typical over the edge gore. It's one of those movies where you root for the bad guys, the least of two evils. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Started off slow and a little confusing with everyone's accent. The actual bank robbery was excellent, but the people looked alike so it was hard to tell who was who in the movie. I liked that it is a true story! Its worth a shot, but not worth buying Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I gave it 4 not 5 stars, as at times it was a little hard to follow. Also at the start you are introduced to a lot of characters very quickly and it can get confusing to follow. I imagine it would be a lot better to watch for the second time.
I haven't really seen a bad movie with Jason Statham in, and this follows the trend. Fast moving and good acting. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
