what we have here be a film about how the pursuit of money and revenge can corrupt your soul . or something like that . guy ritchie and a director know for his reworking of the gangster genre and bite off more than he can chew with this one . his use of modern film noir to tackle the theme of a man set himself free by swallow his pride and be nice to his enemy and give away all his money fall flat on it face . when jason statham character no longer fear ray liotta and it apparently drive liotta crazy enough to blow his head off in the final scene . why . basically you can not set up a mafioso like the liotta character and who have presumably get to his station in life by display the kind of ruthless behaviour evident throughout the film and only then to have him drive to suicide by nothing more than a pity smile on the face of statham character . before anyone start to say i be miss the point . i be not . i get it ok. opt out of the quest for rich and you will find true happiness and inner peace . be nice to your enemy and this will confuse him into self destruction . this seem to be the gist of the movie and in itself this be not a bad premise for a story and although hardly original . the problem be that ritchie simply doesn not have the skill a a movie maker to carry it off . at the moment when even guy ritchie realises this and he appear to get bore with the story and begin to insert red herring represent the scene when statham get knock over by a car why . the shooting of some scene a marvel comic animation . again and why . there be so many loose thread and unanswered question leave at the end of the movie you could get all 2001 ish about it and try figure them out and or simply accept that there be no answer and each viewer will interpret thing in their own way . myself . i be so bored with the pompous tone of the film that i simply do not care . frankly the end couldn not come too soon so that i do not have to sit through any more of this pretentious psychobabble . a waste of two hour of my life .
