Search: Directed by Guy Ritchie

If I had a magic lamp and three wishes, after the whole ending war and famine stuff, I'd use one to wish that Disney think long and hard about these live-action remakes.

For exuberance, inventiveness and gut-spilling humour, Guy Ritchie's debut takes some beating.

Car chases and retro dialogue clog up the machinery

Entertaining and stylish.

Probably Ritchie's boldest and most interesting film to date, even if it is also pretentious enough to give his detractors yet another rope to hang him by.

A more action-led and contemporary take to satisfy modern audiences, with a hero who's as much a swashbuckler as he is a stuffy intellectual.

Released for the Christmas audience, this film does have a touch of the pantomime about it.

Snatch is way over the top, like Lock Stock was, only second time around it doesn't feel so fresh.
