Was about to say Guy Ritchie but I suppose Snatch was at least fine.

Just saw the Gentlemen though, utter trash. Smug Matthew McChonaughey in Lincoln car commercial for 2 hours basically.

Guy Ritchie for sure. Snatch is fantastic and everything else makes me wish I was watching Snatch

Well idea was Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels was the original good movie, admittedly I havenā€™t seen either in a while canā€™t compare the two too much.

Iā€™ve watched Lock Stock perhaps more than any other movie and it keeps getting better. Snatch is an inferior remake with bigger stars and sloppier writing.

I just now dug through your post history on movies so I could make some snarky ā€œYou like x/y/z therefore your opinion is invalid,ā€ but I think you have excellent taste. I will holster my joke and revisit LS&2B. Maybe Iā€™m missing something.

In addition to having over a dozen insanely rewatchable scenes, Ritchie also tied up every single loose end in his Byzantine plot. He tried to do the same thing in Snatch but failed, leaving a bunch of stuff unresolved. The script is just amazing. And half the cast are actual criminals who had never acted before.
