This is a really good movie...

No SJW antics, no undermining the straight-white male leads to push some crappy feminist agenda, and absolutely no quarter given for any of the characters.

This is a hard-boiled crime-thriller the likes of which we don't see made for American audiences very often. This bleak, teeth-cutting saga blends a lot of what Ritchie does well (organized crime drama) with a bit of a revenge-action plot that ties well into a very awesome heist flick.

Man, I was completely blown away by this film's twists and turns and pleasantly surprised at how dark it got toward the end. It reminded me of a better version of Den of Thieves.

I'm also shocked Guy Ritchie made two films, back-to-back, that I scored an 8 out of 10 for completely different reasons. If he makes more films like this (and The Gentleman), I might actually become a fan instead of passing him off as the Cockney version of Quentin Tarantino.

I’ll have to watch this sometime soon.

I suggest you don't bother. It's an appalling film. If Ritchie's name wasn't on the poster, you'd have no way of knowing it was one of his films.

That just means he made a different kind of movie.

Yeah, not a Guy Ritchie movie.

I agree, this movie was pure action suspense, with a dark undertone, and no jokes whatsoever!

A VERY DIFFERENT film than any of Guy Ritchie's previous movies.

Yes! Check the Rotten Tomatoes score - critics 66%, audience 90% - those are the movies to seek out, and this didn’t disappoint.

The complete absence of woke was like coming up for oxygen after being nearly drowned. This was a fantastic antidote to all the woke shit that is spoiling modern movies.

Just when I thought Hollywood doesn’t make movies anymore, they just make barely disguised Trojan Horses for woke propaganda, something like this comes along and let’s me know it’s not all over yet.

I hope it does well and sends the right message.

Indeed, rare to see a film without cultural marxism and anti-europidic themes forced down your throat in every scene. No politics, just action and badass lead.

I agree. It was a, "blink and you'd miss it" when it was in theaters but glad I was able to see it on the big screen.
