Review

decent enough to watch once, but not recommendable. it’s another heist gone wrong picture. it tries to be like lock, stock and two smoking barrels, but doesn’t succeed. the stylized sequences (similar to those in lock, stock…) come off as contrived. some of the comedy is effortless and some of it seems forced or is just too predictable to be funny. it’s not a total bomb though – the cast is well-rounded enough to keep things pleasant and even though it tries too hard to copy guy ritchie’s style, it does create a couple nice moments. nothing special here, but i didn’t find myself checking my watch very often either.
