Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Even if flashy Ritchie's tall tale about the East End underworld starts to run out of steam, the punch line is so good that it makes up for a lot.

fresh:
Even when the accents are as indecipherable as the plot, Ritchie keeps the action percolating and the humor on high.

rotten:
The best one can say is that it's a smart cartoon, and a fairly exhausting viewing experience.

fresh:
Expect plenty of laughs and some edge-of-your-seat sweats, but not a whole lot else.

I was thoroughly entertained while I was watching it, and I haven't hated myself since. And that is something, though I don't know exactly what.
