Assault a thief
What would you do if you had to collect 500,000 pounds in a week, and you would have no idea how to do it? Well, the easiest way would be to attack someone who has so much money, and if it were to attack those who attack those who have money? Wrapped up? This is just the beginning.
This movie is like a fictional maze. Eddie is a young boy who is simply a genius when it comes to playing cards. As the reader says, "he played it from the moment he managed to pick it up".
Together with his friends (Becon, Tom and Mydłem), they collected 100,000 pounds needed to play Harry - a terrible guest who half of the city is afraid, but who has so much money that Eddie wants to play with him. What he is doing.
The problem is that Harry knows that Eddie is the master of the game, so the duel between them is not entirely fair, so Eddie not only does not win, it still incurs a loan of 500,000 pounds to pay off during the week . For each day of delay, he and his colleagues will be stripped of their finger, and when there is no more to cut off, the bar of Eddie's father, JD, will be taken away from them. The story I have presented may be similar to many that you already had the opportunity to see. But this is just one thread. And the plot in the movie is ... a lot. In addition to our young boys, we are also dealing with Harry, his "assistant", who commissioned the work of two northern tips, Rory Breaker - the second fat fish and its grass growers, Big Chris, working for Harry as a guest who collects money or Nick, who takes care of various treacherous goods to Tom and vice versa. In a word, as many as there are characters, so many threads. But the best thing is that they all converge into one unit thanks to the cash and the grass and antique rifles. The author of the scene, and the director Guy Ritchie, is the medal for this creation, for this atmosphere and for this story. First and foremost, what A short work day notice at first glance is the quality of the film. We're dealing with dirty, gray, even black and white England. This makes the film catch the climate suitable for a crime film.
Because if it was not, the whole action takes place around the cash register, shooting, killing. Only ladies are missing, although there are two in the film.
One eternally stoned, and the second we admire in total only from the bottom, back side, but only for a moment.
Let, however, those who hate such films will not be disappointed, because the dialogues led by the main characters are brilliant. For A strange specialist in the theodicy , a scene in which the two tops from the north sitting in a car are arguing about who to go and stop the ruthless Big Chris. I must also admit that there is a lot of meat in the dialogues, but that does not bother me, that's what's funny and that's why we should laugh. Oh, I forgot to mention the scene in which Winston, along with his buddies (the one who grows the grass) shoots from the airgun to the guy who stands with a small, hand-made plot, which in two seconds is able to make a decent Swiss cheese. I agree with the fact that it is a black comedy, because when one of the heroes is deliberately shot all fingers, the viewer has a smile on his face.
Does something in this movie not like me? No. There is no such thing. I watched him for 1.5 times and I am very impressed. Not only me. In the United Kingdom, "Porachunki" became one of the highest-grossed comedies of the 1990s, and made around 50 million dollars around the globe. Because the devil is in the details. The viewer likes to be pampered, through dialogues, the storyline and interesting, expressive characters and unpredictable ending. And the scene with the tune from the western Sergio Leone. Lick your fingers. And the actors? Well, most are not known to the gray popcorn eater. But this works only for the benefit of the film, because we focus on the characters, not the known actors. We do not remember the scenes from other movies with a given role actor in our head. If there were no such characters, there are two plays. The first one is Jason Statham, personally known to me from "Transporter", besides this movie was his gate to success. After "Porachunki" he played in 13 films, of which 3 come out the following year. The second known to every character is ... musician, Sting.
He plays in the film of Father Eddie. Well, it is not a leading role, it is not even secondary. But a nice touch.
I recommend the film to everyone, but I do not know if everyone will like it.
It's a specific movie, not everyone likes it, but it's impressive.
I really recommend to see and put on the list of the best films, because "Accounts" certainly deserve it ...
