I have a COUGH COUGH version on my computer. The sound isnt high quality which made it very frustrating to watch. I watched about 30-35 minutes of it and i'm sure if i actually went to the movies and saw a proper version of it which i probably will i would enjoy it...
However it isnt like Lock Stock or Snatch which are 2 of my top 3 favourite movies of all time (along with Fight Club). Doesnt have the humour that the other two has. Well the parts that i saw didnt anyways...

Saw a screener of it a few months back. Liked it, with some reservations. Certainly it is the best of the recent spate of British crime flicks, but its trajectory is pretty pre-ordained and it does allow its style to shade its substance. However, Daniel Craig is superb in in the lead, the rest of the supporting cast is fine and it moves along at a fair old clip, telling a pretty complicated (maybe convoluted) yarn in a nice shorthand.
Well worth a look and far better than many oher flicks making the rounds at the moment.

Ever british crime flick since Lock, Stock has gone downhill it seems.
this was still ana enjoyable flick though, saw it a few weeks ago on one of those cough cough computers mentioned above.

Saw it for the first time tonight.
Thought it was awesome. A cross between Lock Stock and Reservoir Dogs.
Definitely a movie I'd like to see again.
