My review · Reviewed 07/06/2024
At this point, Ritchie could probably start creating Guy Ritchie franchises. This movie - for better or worse - is a Guy Ritchie movie. The problem I have is that it feels like his movies are now paint-by-numbers. The part about the movie being based on a true story gives it a little bit of a different perspective, but if you take that out, you've seen this movie before. It is generally entertaining, and forgotten by the time the credits finish rolling. The comedy, plot and fight scenes have become very formulaic.
