[ Based on an advance preview:] This latest Guy Ritchie film is a STYLISH caper exploration of various levels of crime in England— from the low-level punks and druggies to the high-level white-collar deceivers, to the Super Rich and their toadies...
TOM WILKINSON plays a well-connected “fixer” for the rich and up-and-comers, and he’s never afraid to use influence and violent toughs (like MARK STRONG) to enforce what he wants (including from a family member, played by TOBY KEBBELL)...
... His plans to help a rich Russian are often foiled by disgruntled criminals (like GERARD BUTLER, IDRIS ELBA & TOM HARDY) and by seemingly high-level people like THANDIE NEWTON (who may or may not be a double-dealer)...
... This film gathers together a very involved, complex, and periodically confusing interweaving of goals and actions (both serious & humorous), and you may have trouble understanding some of them (& certain dialogue used). But, while the film isn’t great, it’s a generally “FUN” ride.
