It's maybe unfair to expect that this film would be on par or even exceed guy Ritchie's 2 finest achievements in lock stock and snatch, but it doesn't even come close which is a shame because i really expected it to be another masterpiece.
The storyline isn't very interesting at all, most of the film is just plain boring and you don't really share any emotions with any of the characters like you usually would in Ritchie's movies. it has some good points and some of the scenes are entertaining and amusing like you would expect but these are very few and far between to keep you enthralled for the duration.
Thandie Newton is very nice to look at and Gerard butler does a solid enough performance without being spectacular but the rest of the cast are easily forgettable which is easy to see when most scenes have no substance to keep you wanting more.
let's hope Ritchie's next chapter goes back to what he does best, we know he's capable of making amazing films so here's hoping for a quick recovery to make up for this lacklustre effort.
