this be the english casino and goodfellas in one laughable film . it be very well know how much the english want to be american and this movie prove it . like in lock stock . and snatch and they try to create a new york environment in london and which be not realistic . they want it so much to make these gangster be like their italian american counterpart and the end result be completely ridiculous . buy yourself a nice suit . and yeah and right . apart from that and paul bettany can hardly act and the director be the perfect scorcese wan na be . malcolm mcdowell be ( a always ) great though . negative .
