Viewing Notes

Hoping to make a bundle in a high-stakes poker game, four shiftless lads from London’s East End instead find themselves swimming in debt. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting going into this, but given I loved how Guy Ritchie handled Sherlock Holmes I figured I was in for a treat and this didn’t disappoint. This is very much in line with Trainspotting in that it’s a dark comedy on top of being a totally different genre and it has an amazing cast to pull it off. Ritchie has some amazing shots in this and the use of color everywhere to set an instant tone is fantastic. The dialogue is sharp and fun and there’s so much going on. Absolutely loved this.
