Best? The film is 50% good. The ending and the plot tails are badly executed. Amazing performances all round namely from Colin and Hugh but the film itself is probably his 5th best. Watch Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and come back to me…
Honestly Guy Ritchie just knows how to make British gangster movies. No one makes a gangster movie like him. Always on point with the music too, and the actors for this Matthew McConaunhey alway outstanding. Hugh Grant! Jesus he was amazing, Colin Farrel fantastic. Charlie Hunnam was brilliant.
@@ThePartisan13 It’s not typical Guy Ritchie but I think it’s still pretty great regardless. Honestly, I’d say the live action remake of Aladdin is definitely his worst one lmao.
@@oliverwarner8188 fair enough, although the name Geoff was all the rage when I was a boy while Oliver was rather old-school. These things go in cycles.
This opening REALLY got me into the movie. I actually read spoilers to the movie. Well, just who lived and died. Didn't really read any further plot details. So I went in knowing McConaughey lives, but then I saw that opening scene and I was all like: "Whoa, whoa whoa!!! Hold on!!! Timeout!!!" After that I had like 50 different scenarios or so as to how that scene would've played out. But I've seen a ton of movies and I'm also a writer. So I did immediately turn to that the opening was misleading and it wasn't him who got shot. I figured someone would have to come in and save him and the blood belonged to the shooter. But then when I learned that Hugh Grant was kind of telling some story and even got McConaughey's character incorrectly and Charlie Hunnam corrected him at one point, I was thinking that maybe Hugh Grant screwed up facts again, or maybe someone else was narrating that scene and they were a henchmen that was twisting facts and making it sound like they were some hero that supposedly killed McConaughey. Or someone was telling a "what if" story. I was kind of both impatient and patient on getting back to the scene. But I am glad I read spoilers though or else I would've left the movie since I'm not a fan of main characters/protagonists dying, although at the same time I am a "smart" movie watcher, especially since I'm a writer, so I think I could've figured out the beginning was misleading and he didn't get shot. But I probably would've sat there bored and not cared about anything until it returned to that scene and I knew for sure that it was misleading. It's possible the movie could've shown what led up to that point and revealed why McConaughey had it coming. And if I hadn't read spoilers, I'd have to re-watch the movie to give it another chance. But since I read spoilers ahead of time and saw everything play out, I don't need to re-watch the movie to see if I liked it more. After reading the spoilers and watching the movie, I want to re-watch the movie to see the scenes I liked the most and enjoy the movie even more.
When this film started & the credits rolled with this song I was so excited for the film. The excitement reminded me of seeing one of the James Bond films when I was younger. The intro is a masterpiece in itself.

The moment he says 'a pint and a pickled egg' that's when the movie starts for me, a simple line makes such an impact and sets you up for a classic English gangster tale. utter brilliance.
@@DHynes5, you must not know a lot about guns. Well, I don't know much either, but heard it plenty of times from a lot of gun experts over the years (started since my high school days back in 2003 to 2007) that Hollywood gets silencers all wrong. Heck, I even have a few friends that are gun experts. Plus I live in Upper Michigan where there is a lot of hunters that are gun experts. In real life, guns are still pretty loud with a silencer on them. I've even watched some videos too of what guns in real life would sound like with a silencer on them. There is still a loud bang to them when fired while having a silencer attached to them. Probably as loud as the bang in the opening scene. The quietness you see/hear in movies is just Hollywood BS at it's best and exaggerating stuff once more and being inaccurate. Silencers do reduce the bang, but not to the point where you can't hear it. Hollywood just exaggerated things to the point that a silencer will allow a bullet to not be heard or make any sound at all.
Thats what a suppressed weapon sounds like up close. Hollywood has painted an unrealistic expectation of suppressed weapons. Even with sub atomic bullets, it won't be nearly as quiet as Hollywood makes it seem.
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are the two best singer songwriters in the USA for the lsat 20 years...check out a documentary called Down from the mountain
There's not one single fault I could point out about this film. It's a true return to British crime classic films from Guy Ritchie. It has that humorous slant to it that was present in Snatch, but it's also got some terrific acting in it. That intro as well is so good, such a powerful opening.
Killer title roll, killer film. Such a great ensemble cast. The title roll immediately pulls you in. Guy Ritchie is basically the British Tarantino. He knows how to craft a complex story and characters that aren't boring.
Two details I love in this opening. The gunshot is really loud despite the assassin has a suppressor on his gun and the other being the thud of the body hitting the floor. If it was Mickey who got shot, surely he would just slump back in his chair but you can tell that body hits the floor really hard
Matthew M was the perfect character for this. Like the Lion, the king of the jungle (which the character references later) he's got a bit of a blonde mane himself, the crown of a king. He's very confident, straight forward and assured in his actions and behaviors. He walks into his bar -- he knows what he wants, he orders it. He walks straight to the juke box, picking out the proper change in his pocket before he even reaches it. He knows exactly what song he wants to listen to as he drinks and the jukebox obeys his command, as does the bartender. He sits down at his preferred table, summons his phone, and very quickly calls the very person he wishes to speak to just now. Everything happens as he wishes like a well oiled machine. The camera shots are purposively mechanic-- very sharp yet smooth. Matt muses that we should not doubt, takes a sip of beer, and judiciously wipes off the detritus from his upper lip. Suddenly his empire is very quickly thrust into confusion and chaos...
You see the guy has a silencer but you don’t hear a silenced shot. On my first viewing I was noticed it and loved that he let the audience in on it if you were able to catch it
A cool fact. If you notice at 0:29, they show brand of the beer as GRITCHIE. The name of the director is Guy Ritchie. That’s a cool movie detail once you notice it.
Actually, that is Guy Ritchie's very own Gritchie Brewing Company... and the pub, Lore of the Land is also his which he jointly owns with David Beckham if I remember correctly
Great film - Fun Fact : they filmed all of, Matthew McConaughey's scenes in one day - he had no idea they were making a movie , this was just a normal day for him
Pickled eggs have since become a favourite among many as a snack or hors d'œuvre popular in pubs, bars and taverns, and around the world in places where beer is served. After the eggs are hard boiled, the shell is removed and they are submerged in a solution of vinegar, salt, spices, and other seasonings.
“Doubt causes chaos and one’s own demise” literally summarised the whole movie within the first 3 lines without any spoilers, fuck I love this writing.
What really impressed me about this movie was how accurate the slang was from the young men. Guy Ritchie really spent time in parts of London where kids like him grew up.

This helped me become manager at Walmart. I attribute my success to god and matthew mcconaugah. And a smidge to myself. While it might not sound impressive. I am the youngest manager in the store and had zero managerial experience. I was technically not qualified but I literally put on the greatest act of my life.

Also the aesthetic of the pickled egg
Especially with that easy listening song. On the jukebox.

Lmao same exact type tone and setting as the commercials
Lol I feel like drinking a pint.
It's genius how we are led to believe that he is killed in the beginning of the movie and only near the end it's revealed what actually happened.
I love how the little hint that he wasn't actually killed is that the assassin had a silencer in his gun, yet it was a loud bang when shot.
