Title: Criminals By Default
Review: Four friends rustle up one hundred thousand dollars in cash to gain entrance into a high stakes poker game. The quartet's most talented poker player loses big, putting the other three in a life threatening situation. The game's overseer is a thuggish brute who allows his top two henchman to recover his money. A great soundtrack accompanied by awesome visual is enhanced by a fantastic story that continues to escalate as the movie progresses. I have heard how Ritchie's movies parallel Tarantino in action and suspense, it's true; but this movie has a flavor in it's own. Without hardly trying each character is easily identified in a quirkish flighty manner. Unfortunately, I had to keep the subtitles on to understand the thick cockney speech pattern. Other than that, this is one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen in a long time. The humor is timely and the action is great!!! I'm going to see SNATCH this afternoon, hopefully, it's just as good.....
