New Guy Ritchie film but apparently only in theaters right now. Anybody seen this yet? I’ll see it when I can because Guy Ritchie is awesome.

I love it when I have an opportunity to show that movie to someone who hasn't seen it.  Goddamn what a masterpiece.

I feel the same about "In the Loop," the movie inspired by the BBC series The Thick of It.

I highly recommend both the series and the movie.  Malcom Tucker is a God.

I saw it last weekend. Pretty good but not great. I feel like past Ritchie films had a lot more twists than this one which was more a straight action film. I think I enjoyed it more than I otherwise would have just because it was my first time in a movie theater since February 2020.

I like seeing Hartnett back but his role was a bit of a throwaway. Any random actor could have played it with the same effect. Hopefully his transition into some meatier roles soon. He was great in Lucky Number Slevin. Jesus, that was 15 years ago.

I saw it an enjoyed it.  I always love the song choices in Ritchies movies also.

Yea it was pretty damn good, but also pretty damn straight forward.   I was expecting more twists, but they pretty much explained everything lol

Also i would have preferred to see more Statham hand to hand fighting ...mostly gun bang pow dead.

Agree on Hartnett's character.  I like him in his past roles, but anyone could have plated that goober.

I enjoyed it. Not a great movie, but solid.

I found the lack of a twist refreshing. I think a plot twist should only be done when it's set up and executed very well. Too many movies throw in a random, unestablished plot twist just to have one.

I also enjoyed the nonlinear storytelling. It's a nice break from all the other formulaic stuff.

I missed what Stathams crews connection was to the robbers? Were they just paid to be spotters? Why was Statham there to report which direction the truck went??

If so wouldn't they know how to find the crew?

I enjoyed it. Tried not to think too hard about the storyline.

No connection. It was just plot luck that the route they decided to scope out was hit that day by an unrelated crew.

Not bad.  Long burn. 
 

Prolly wouldn’t watch again tho 

[kingkoopa6 8351]

I liked him in Oppenheimer. Good to see he’s back around again. I missed him. He was the teen heartthrob of all the chicks back when I was in HS
