Guy Ritchie is back. And by that, I mean that Guy Ritchie has made another only slightly different version of the films that people know and really like. On the downside, the guy is still a flashy filmmaker but he seems to be stuck in his genre. On the bright side, if you've seen his forays into other genres (Swept Away, Revolver), you'll be happy to hear that Ritchie back swinging at pitches in his wheelhouse.

The movie is "cool" if not forgettable. The actors do strong work with Body of Lies' Mark Strong anchoring the project while Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, and Idris Elba have fun. It's more entertaining than Body of Lies but I found the Ridley Scott film to be more interesting.
