The Bezonians

In the current climate of mediocre big budget tripe this is a refreshing watch . Sit back and enjoy some brilliant dialogue . Shades of Ritchie direction .

This is a poor man's lock stock, can see trying to replicate but it lacks the acting, story and the music soundtrack. As others have said many scenes with no relevance to story, almost like scenes were dropped on the floor and put in order of pick up.

Vinnie does not appear that much so do not expect the classic vinnie villain from previous films, they could really have got anyone in.

Narrating is good and needed, possibly needed a bit more grit ala lock stock as more towards reading a bedtime story but it keeps you informed on the random screen happenings.

All in all its not dire, watchable if bored.

Some infrequent glimmers of very good dialogue are quickly overwhelmed by overused narration to replace character development, unlikable or annoying characters, implausible and overly long scenes that appear unrelated or irrelevant. If you like Vinnie Jones, he is only in the movie for 5 minutes. The Lola and Willard problem could have been more easily resolved than waiting like lambs to the slaughter. Why did we have to sit through Plato's overly long story about his experience with abortion that did not advance the plot. Sometimes interesting and quirky; but, not worth the time.

Story elements with potential but overacting, excessive character "development" via narration, lingering on boring shots and oddly long scenes makes it unexciting as well as predictable. Not the worst movie I've seen lately but not one I'd recommend.

The is has all the shades of a guy Ritchie film but back when guy Ritchie was young and hungry.

The acting is great, the direction is spot on, the characters are all fleshed out brilliantly and the action has a brutal intensity,

Well done to all concerned for his effort. I predict great things for this crew.
