Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/burning/animal cruelty/suicide/suffocating/vehicle crash/vehicle hit/religion/torture/electrocution/dismemberment/chopping/bodily functions/references to race, cancer, homosexuality and other which I can't remember right now.

What a week that was: briefly; we follow this selection of characters such as Turkish and Tommy [Jason Statham and Stephen Graham:] they are business partners: unlicensed boxing promoters and slot machines: they do try to split the workload depending on the situation: Turkish is that unlicensed boxing promoter and Tommy does the everyday running of this slot machines, but in short they need the help of Mickey O'Neil [Brad Pitt:] he is an Irish gypsy/pikey that is the equivalent of an Irish gypsy bare knuckle boxing champion, so he is as hard as nails but he doesn't take instructions to well.

Generally speaking: because we have this storyline/script that has many moving parts, sometimes at one point or another crossing over or/and converge, but then again what you expect from a Guy Ritchie film [Writer and Director for this film.] So the framework and pacing of this 102 minutes film is structured to slide all over the place to go from situation to situation with this informative narrating, storyteller of previous events and/or inner monologue by Turkish and this entire film is solely focused on this week so we go come full circle with fluent pacing with gusto, there was always something happening somewhere.

Action and comedy; now I have to be slightly selective and censor these examples broadly speaking; so we have these three robbers the hold-up this bookies to kidnap this man with a missing finger and to obviously rob the place, but on holding up this location they find out; repeatedly all bets are off [due to another situation happening,] the man with his briefcase didn't have one thing missing and on top of that this member of staff which she has bigger grapefruits to manage the situation with calmness and as I have already said has bigger grapefruits, which has already closed down this location and started the alarm, quickly decides to pick up this gun which belonged to one of the robbers and started shooting, these two robbers are now screwed, but wait there is a third robber, the getaway driver which yes in a previous scenes is large figure and slow movement has already been discussed; this too was highly comical as well.

Art, character developments and performances; we have these momentarily freeze frame art with name of character in this is good. The character developments and performances are on both counts in-depth as these characters know who precisely they are and the vast majority of them in various ways are incredibly shifty, even the background/supporting characters have the feel and presentation of product of their environment and culture to them; so the entire cast put in at minimum excellent performances based on/regardless of their size of role, which all contributes to the authentic nature of this title. Now and again I really do like regardless of name Brad Pitt or Darren The Pikey [Jason Flemyng:] he is a member of Mickey's family, everyone contributes something; so there is spot on chemistry and camaraderie to bring this film to life.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it most definitely needs to be seen once in a lifetime for its authenticity, action and mature to adult comedy references. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 4 Winners which include but not limited to Empire Awards, UK 2001 Empire Award Best British Director Guy Ritchie and 7 Nominees which also include but not limited to Satellite Awards 2001 Golden Satellite Award Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Comedy or Musical Brad Pitt
