A whole bunch of thieves and shady characters are trying to get their hands
on a huge diamond.
This was pretty darn good. It's by the same guy who made Lock, Stock and Two
Smoking Barrels, and like that movie, it's amusing but the accents are
REALLY thick...not just British, but a whole bewildering variety of classes
and education, slang, and even one guy (played by Brad Pitt) who is so
incomprehensible that most of what he says has to be translated for the
other characters, very funny.
A mile-a-minute plot, all the dominoes are stacked up by the middle of the
movie and watching them fall is great fun. Many plot twists, lots of
blood and body parts flying everywhere, loads of quirky
characters, and a good, satisfying ending. If you like caper/heist flicks,
or are just in the mood for some serious British accents, this is a good
pick.
