One of the most entertaining films I've watched (several times) The script is on point. The characters are on point. The acting is on point. Another integrant of the superb, superior British gangster film genre.
Thanks for the great upload and review. I have always loved RocknRolla, a film that seems forgotten because of Snatch, and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Your insight into the film makes me want to go and watch it again now, thank you.
Another great reaction Stephen. Nice one. Looking forward to the next ones. As someone else mentioned, The Gold would be a great one. Or maybe you can run a series where you look at old historic uk crimes, like the great train robbery etc. give us your insight into the people who committed the crimes and how they shaped future criminal worlds to come.
Oh wow I like this guy, unlike other gangster reviews, they become so hyper-focused on realism, and can't just enjoy the art of filmmaking. The way he praises the moody set design, and the acting of Lenny Cole's actor. And the scene pushing the narrative forward, Johnny Quid's DADDY WAS A BANKROBBER proper introduction. Subscribed, I respect when people love film, and appreciate the nuances instead of jumping on the first inaccuracy cause they know it serves a certain purpose, feed and punchline, because as anyone who's ever experienced something in real life that's been portrayed in fiction, they'll ignore things for certain dramatic or pacing reasons, like My Cousin Vinny is praised as one of the most realistic portrayal of Courtroom Procedure compared to A Few Good Men, but even Vinny takes a few liberties with the realism for pacing or dramatic purposes and experts forgive it cause it's such a good movie and well researched. The Director was a real Lawyer before he got into filmmaking I believe. Anyways, cheers mate, it's just refreshing to find an ex-gangster who is also a cinephile, makes the video less predictable and more fun.
I'm glad you finally reviewed this one. I've been waiting for your opinion on it. Another one I would be interested in hearing your opinion of is, The Crew, with Stephen Graham. (2008)
In my top 5 of all time, i fucking love this fucking film, piano scene always brings a tear to my eye, would love to get a tattoo in of it in commemoration somehow one day
The thing about Guy Ritchies films is he often gives you little revenge fantasys for some vicarious catharsis. like when the bouncer is stabbed or the parking officer is beaten up in Lock Stock. I mean who hasnt wanted to do these things to bouncers and parking cops at one point or another?
Another great review as always Stephen. It would be really interesting to see your thoughts on the new bbc show The Gold. Based on the aftermath of the Brinksmat job. I imagine you may have come across some of the blokes featured in the show. Would be really interesting to see how authentic of a portrayal you think it is.
Been watching a few of your movie reaction vids recently. Really enjoyed them. Have you ever seen Gangster No.1? Paul Bettany plays one of the most deranged and outright disturbing characters that I think I've ever seen in a gangster movie in that one. Would love to see you do a video on that movie...
Hi Steven it's trev Dec singer-songwriter here just to say hello and that thing this fucking one is the best I think that the move is very good Steven good luck with the program's Declan god bless you ya mate your right about the actors well done

Hey Stephen, I came to your awesome channel to see if you did a video on old Charlie Bronson's parole chances and update. I'm hoping he gets released bless him, he needs to be with his family. :)

Hi Stephen, I missed a few of you're vids lately, I was wondering, have you ever gave a 10/10 I thought snatch was personally, because of all the different characters ? But rock n rolla , and sexy beast my faves too, but snatch was the bollocks, Have you got a 10/10 yet ? Take care geezer
Mr. Gillens takes are very much appreciated. Glad he has his life in order and enjoying what he's doing.

Integrant - great word!

Got to be the lift scene.
"Pass me the gun, Mickey. Quickly"
Damn, you put that together quick! Haha. Great work!
Cada que veo esta película es como si la mirara por primera vez, nunca me enfado al verlo, es muy entretenida y bastante infravalorada
Shame it looks like we'll never get the sequel promised at the end of the film. I for one would love to see it.
@@obi-potobi790 quizá en algún futuro no muy lejano obtendremos la secuela, tal fue el caso de trainspotting que pasaron casi 20 años para su secuela
Surprised this chap was never an actor. Has the charisma for it
Been waiting for this one!
My favorite Tom Hardy and Gerard Butler Movie
Thanks for this review, appreciate your incites into the world/life look forward to future content more power to you.

The subtitles are hillarious. A bit like those japanese translations on how to use your vacuum cleaner
