Summary: About the grittiest movie I've ever seen.
Review: Who can argue with a movie filmed entirely in monochromatic sepia? --Definitely adds to the mood and gritty ambiance. --And who can find fault with a camera-shot out of a pot of boiling water as seen from the veggies' p.o.v.? The acting is gorgeous; no mucking about with love interests. Aside from two fathers and their respective sons relationships added for contrast, this is a mano-a-mano slugfest. To watch the movie 'cold,' i.e. no idea of its story content, requires concentration; there are some five different groups who start off independent of each other, but will eventually fuse and implode. (Remember the ending of 'A Shot In the Dark', when everyone is driving madly around a fountain and eventually collide? Pour example). The final shot is deliciously contrived, as it should be and it worked most satisfyingly. Who needs a syrupy ending. This must be a first of its genre (wholesale slaughter) for the British, and comes as a surprise. Very gifted, those British. All characters are rich and marvelously defined.

Summary: Bloody Awful
Review: This movie wants so much to be another "Trainspotting" or "Pulp Fiction," but it fails miserably. The characters are bland and interchangeable, the plot totally contrived to be as ironic as possible. Nothing is more uncool than trying too hard to be cool, which this movie is guilty of to the third degree.

Summary: "Barrels" blasts with Rapid Fire Intensity and Wits
Review: When my friend bought this DVD from Amazon, I privately laughed that she probably had too much spare cash, but when I saw it on a rainy night with nowhere to go out of boredom, I was genuinely surprised by what I saw. Guy Ritchie shot this film with so much passion and ingenuity, I was willing to overlook the rather insignificant acting, but focus on the interesting camera works, great editing and Ritchie's deft direction as well as his surprising script. A must-see and having seen it first in English subtitles help eliminate down time figuring out the cockney accented English, watching it second and third time without subtitles was the true fun of it all.

Summary: Absolutely <EXPLETIVE DELETED> Tops!!!!!
Review: This film is I am tempted to say the best movie I have ever seen. I was completely blown away by the photography and the story line with all of its glorious subplots was very engaging and it kept me guessing. Why is it that when the British remake American movies (in this case Pulp Fiction or Reservior Dogs) they always do it so much better?

Review: This a hilarious film. A good watch and a great laugh. Very well written and phenomonal cinematography. Directed wisely. A fantastic film.

Summary: you've gotta see it!
Review: I debated whether or not to rent this movie for a couple weeks (looked like Reservoir Dogs). Then a friend said it was worth checking out, so I did. I was not disappointed! This is not only the best British movie I've ever seen, but one of the best movies I've seen in quite a while. The action is nonstop, the humor is right on, and the cinematography is great. This flick grabs you from the opening scene and never lets up. Though some of the dialogue is hard to follow for us Yanks, it's worth watching again to try and figure out. Constant plot twists, great soundtrack, superb acting- I can't say enough! Everyone must see it now!
