though a completely different film the plot have element reminiscent to me of coppola godfather with the move to different method of obtain proceeds from crime ( proposal of drug in the godfather but not in this case . ) . also the pop off of your boy by the opposition be a familiar scene . in this film it look like someone big than both our gang bos bob hoskins ( our godfather here ) and his local rival have arrive in town . london town that be . it have everything and like all great film capture a certain mood throughout . this be crucial to hold the film and it audience together throughout . it be unlike many british film represent not too wordy and a one other reviewer i have read in past mention be a gold standard set 16 or so year previous for guy rithcie ( with his dubious lock stock and etc . ) et al . to look back in wonder and emulate but never achieve . yet . afterthought represent please note there be some other brit great since though with the like of sexy beast and gansgter no1 provide extremely entertaining viewing . trivia represent if you be british it be great fun to spot the brit soap star and other more for tv actor such a the wonderful ( prime suspect fame ) helen mirren . of course wherever you be from a young pierce brosnan appear in the closing sequence what a shock to behold the silent killer . turn the light right down pour your preferred poison and watch it all unfold and explode at the end . bon viewing .
