What's it about? Give us a bit more info lmao. I'm curious because they seem to have taken the name of the movie from an old Judas Priest album from the 70s.

I'm sticking my neck out here, but I'll have a wild punt and guess that it's a crime caper movie and it just might have something to do with Mockney Gangsters involved in it in some way.
One big diamond. (Nerd!!!)
If it's nothing like Revolver and everything like Snatch and Lock Stock, then we're in for a treat. I've not seen Swept Away. It's on my, "never watch this," list, along with Terminator 3, Godfather Part III and anything with Jack Black or Adam Sandler in it.

Just come back from seeing it. Good film- very Guy Ritchie. Very much the Lock, Stock formula- U might as well be watching some kind of remake!! Not to say thats a bad thing... less complicated plotwise and less violent than Lock,Stock.... Im looking forward to see his version of Sherlock Holmes- I reckon he'd be good at it actually...

That's his writing rather than the direction though, as one reviewer said he should direct other people's scripts because he has some directing talent.

I must be the only one that absolutely hated this film.
Hubby and I went to see it and it was a pile of crap, he was struggling to stay awake and I was counting down the minutes so we could go for our chinese afterwarRAB
.
IMO he used too many characters and I got lost as to who was who and who was the enemy.
Is thye same old story from Guy. Someone pinches something and it enRAB up with loaRAB of violence and quick one liners and in the end the story goes in one full loop the 'victim' gets the painting back in the end anyway (accidently comes back into their possesion).
I'm glad we got a refund.

Saw this today. Entertaining enough but nothing special.
Usual Guy Ritchie stuff - gangsters, stolen artefacts and loaRAB and loaRAB of different characters.
Only thing that got on my nerves was the character of Johhny Quid, just wanted him to shut up! So annoying!
Nothing i haven't seen before, but yeah entertaining enough. More of a blokes film than for girls.

If you like rock you will like the soundtrack.
There wasnt that many characters really...like 6 main character maybe, not hard to keep track of them all.
One-Two, Lenny, Stella, Archie, Johnny Quid and the Russian guy (forgot that one)
I think it was ok, around a 7/10. No where near as good as Snatch or Lock Stock but still not bad.

I'm not suggesting that the spoiler was a good thing, but quite frankly - if you've seen anything else he's done*, you'll know how this works.
(*I'm obviously excluding Swept Away here, as that movie clearly fell through a timehole from another dimension. At least that's the only explanation for it I have.)
What Guy Ritchie has got is a really bad case of George Lucas Syndrome (indeed, he may even have it worse than GL himself!) Having an interesting and complex story is meaningless if you can't actually write the script that makes it work. Lock, Stock almost worked because the one-liners disguised the rest of the terrible writing. But once you've seen that trick, there's no point in remaking the film several times and hoping no-one notices.
I'm not even sure Ritchie is a good director any more (if he ever was!) - there was nothing in this film that had any sort of innovation, or even real style. I was disappointed - and I hardly had high hopes for it to begin with.
