Overview
A card shark and his unwillingly-enlisted friends need to make a lot of cash quick after losing a sketchy poker match. To do this they decide to pull a heist on a small-time gang who happen to be operating out of the flat next door.
I went back and watched this again recently – what a joy this movie is. It’s absolutely Guy Ritchie at his best, although I think he has made a comeback in the last few years after (inexplicably) taking on other franchises. This is where he belongs.
