“Brilliant Guy Ritchie back to his best”, that’s what the Sun had quoted in the promotional poster of the movie. Jason Statham as Jake Green looks fresh with his french beard in the movie and also he is  convincing. He plays a top notch con artist in the movie who after spending seven years in a solitary confinement is back for avenging the death of his sister in law. Ray Liotta plays as Dorothy Macha, a kingpin who is responsible for the death of Green’s sister in law.

 The first half of the movie is a typical stylish Guy Richie movie but with a darker storyline. The second half is a bit dragging but personally I was never bored watching the entire movie. Withing two years of his release Green rises as a hotshot trickster who has supposedly acquired a “Formula” which will lead it’s user to win every game. I don’t think the movie comes with a message. But one strong point the movie comes up with is the games that our mind play to us. The movie has some interesting quotes that you would have to watch if for yourself. But my personal favorite is what Avi says, “the greatest trick that ego ever pulled was making you believe that he is you”.

The movie won’t make you thrill and chill but it’ll definitely make you think. “Human mind is capable of doing anything that it desires, it’s just that we are so busy in our lives to handle our own stuffs that we don’t find the potential hidden in ourselves.” Released in 2005, written and directed by Guy Ritchie, overall the movie is watchable and if you watch it alone, it’ll be a nicer experience. It’s applealing to the people who have a specific tase in life and cinema alike. Enjoy your weekend!
