Can watch it 10 times and still see new things you missed, Just like snatch, Ritchie is a genius. Hoskins was Harold Shand, kingpin of London crime, corrupter of cops, councilors and lawyers. He was manoeuvring to bring in the American mafia on a big London property deal when someone started taking liberties on his manor, blowing up stuff and killing people. Fantastic acting, great plot great shooting, Excellent acting Butler is great as is Archie , and of course the cameo of russains being weird, I really like this movie and will be watching it over and over. I have recommended it to everybody I know and not had one complaint
