The usual Guy Ritchie exaggerations of cockney life via the criminal fraternity that should bring a smile to most lips.
As always, humor is very much to the fore and, in this case, a complicated plot and breezy style helps conceal the lack of a true story or theme that one can sink ones teeth into.
That said, the performances are excellent from a great many fresh faced actors. They do their utmost to breathe life into the plot heavy narrative that refuses to let real characters surface in its headlong race to feed the audience the details of its twists and turns. Many stereotypes are neatly reversed for comic effect, particularly those concerning Blacks and Gays.
This is entertaining filmmaking by numbers that never lets up until the sequel promising denouement.
