i will start by say that this have undeservedly be pan by just about everyone . the fact be it wasn not what anyone be expect and especially from guy ritchie . what everyone be expect be cockney geezer and good one liner do ya like dag . etc and but this be far more mature than his previous work . i would agree that it be confuse but all the fact be there for u we just have to see them and listen hard and this film demand all your attention . look past the cool and dazzling look of the film and try to listen to the dialogue rather than admire the performance and i think we will all get a more thorough understanding of the whole film . yes this have it influence from modern classic ( fight club and pulp fiction etc ) but it be in the whole original in both direction and pace with a music score second to none . i feel that if everyone watch this film over and over they would understand it a lot more and maybe appreciate it for the fine piece of modern cinema that it be and i hope also that ritchie continue in this vain a i far prefer this to his mockney masterpiece .
