I just love that this movie uses the real names of the actors, Jude, Ray, Johnny etc, so it's very cool. The main source of the humour comes from the the two bodyguards, one old and one young - mainly around the young guy trying sort out the old guys love life with his wife Kathy Burke. She then gets subjected to some of these suggestions which makes for great comedy.The violence stems from rival gangs and the characters in Ray's gang who are quite uncompromising. Ray asks one of them, who is in hospital, how he's doing - he says I've been stabbed by my own mate for a joke, burnt and force feed dog food - how do you think I feel?This is a movie to see and stack on the DVD shelf ahead of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels for a repeat viewing.

A stellar cast cannot save this horror show "mish-mash" of genres, that can never be sure what it wants to be. The comedy is crude, lazily written and totally unfunny, and the plot is a complete mess of meaningless "what shall we do next" storytelling, that goes nowhere. Jonny goes from courier to killer in a matter of frames, the violence is actually so bad that the punch and gun fire noises sound like they have been stolen from a 50's western. The words "small budget crap" sum up this tosh. I guess this would only appear on the CV of Miss Van Outen, the rest of them would surely be too embarrassed. Lock Stock this certainly isn't!

No its not an Oscar winning type of film but what it is......is good clean fun and if you can't enjoy this film, then you probably just take it all just too seriously and don't get the quintessentially British humour that makes it so good, one or two performances may have been a little plastic but there are some good and unexpected performances from others. In short this film is for you if you have a dry sense of humour but not if you like big budget flicks with lots of explosions and stupid untalented (yet pretty) American actresses.I would not be put off by what some connoisseurs might say, give it a go its a real sleeper in my lowly opinion!
