Anyone still hoping for Guy Ritchie's return to form will be sorely disappointed. An undecipherable and pretentious mess with con-men, eccentric crime lords, a mysterious hit-man, set in some kind of no-man's land. The film is loaded with preposterous quotes from Julius Ceasar (some of the quotes must have been used only 200 times before in previous films) and Nicholai Macchiavelli.
You'll have to consult Guy Ritchie for some kind of plot synopsis. Any attempt on my account would be useless. I couldn't make A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G out of this truly unbearable 100 minutes. In the future, if he still gets a chance at directing a film, he'll better leave the writing to someone else. Even Ray Liotta becomes a caricature after a while. Let's give 2 stars for some of the attractive camera-work and editing. Yes, it looks pretty but what's the point? It's a complete joke.
Camera Obscura --- 3/10
