FUNNY HARD GUYS WITH THICK ACCENTS GET VIOLENT
Guy Ritchie's follow-up to the hugely entertaining gangster caper "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" does not break new ground.
This impressively packaged two disc release includes a great-looking widescreen transfer of the complex and violent gem heist that's peopled with a bunch of heavy-accented oddballs including Benicio Del Toro, Dennis Farina and Vinnie Jones. Brad Pitt is a bare-knuckle Gypsy boxing champ who apparently speaks a hybrid Welsh-English, but in a funny and completely indecipherable dialect.
In fact, the entire film needs the optional English subtitles, but I think that's intentional. The point of the movie is that it's all about the comic-book images and the sounds -- not words. Disc 1 includes full frame and widescreen versions with a funny director and producer commentary. Disc 2 includes a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, storyboards, photos, trailers and web links.
It all adds up to way too much info for a less than significant film.
Movie of 2000
This is yet again an amzing movie by the best director ever Guy Ritchie!!!
This movie with two brilliently acted, directed and written criss crossing tales in one movie. This movie begins with Turkish and Tommy. Two gangsters stuck in the middle rank of the mafia are supporting bare nuckle boxing fights with the all ruthless and evil villain, Brick Top. They go out to buy a trailer from a pack of pikies and meet their leader Mickey (Brad Pitt). After only moments of owning the trailer it breaks and they find they've been ripped off. When the demand their money back their star bare knuckle boxer Gorgeus George is beatten by Mickey.
The other tale of a diamond hiest by Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) set to bring back the diamond the size of a fist to New York where his boss Cousin Avi (Dennis Farnia) is killed and the diamond is stolen. Avi then flies to London where he was last seen to find his diamond where he hires a bounty hunter Bullet Tooth Tony.
As these funny and exciting tales continue you never know what will happen next to these crazy characters!!!!!
Where's the snatch?
I thought from the title that this was a XXX porno flick. Silly me. Brad Pitt still spends the entire movie talking like he's got a tampon stuffed in each cheek (sort of like the cotton wads Marlon Brando used in The Godfather). Is this the way these people really talk? And I thought I had a speech impedimen
