Starring:
Gerard Butler, Thandie Newton
Review:
Great title for a gangster flick. Too bad that writer-director
Guy Ritchie only partially realizes the sizzling potential. The
movie has a good thing going in scrappy Gerard Butler, who trades
in his 300 swords and sandals to play One Two, a guppy
scam artist in London real estate hoping to learn from the great
white shark, Lenny Cole (the slumming but ever wonderful Tom
Wilkinson). All types of hoods enter the fray, with Thandie Newton
the sexiest as a crooked accountant, Mark Strong the most
intriguing as Lenny's wingman, Toby Kebbell the most dangerous as
Lenny's punk-junkie stepson, Nonso Anozie the most irresistible as
a whale-size hood who fancies fine art and Merchant Ivory films,
and Jeremy Piven and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges the most negligible
as rock promoters in a crammed cast...
