NEVER GETS OLD
I loved this movie. I have watched over 10 times in the span of about 3 years and it never gets old. I get engrossed in it just as much when I watch it now as I did when I watched it the first time. To me, that is a pretty good indicator of a quality movie.
Of note is Brad Pitt's acting. I never gave him much credit before seeing this movie. But a guy that can pull off something like Meet Joe Black (also good) and then turn around and flawlessly act the bit part of a gypsy boxer who revenges his murdered mother is not your typically pretty boy actor.

How Does One Explain a Body in the Boot with a Tea Cozy on his Head?
In all likelihood, one doesn't. One simply accepts the cuffs and moves on, albeit less voluntarily than usual, with a worldly, almost noble, resignation of the small-time get-rich-quick scam artist.

Scenes like these are so difficult to explain in terms of their sidesplitting humour. Yet, from the minute that Boris the Blade, with unparalleled panache, walks off with the briefcase and the arm belonging to the now deceased Four Fingers Frankie, you will be hooked. The cast is impeccable and Brad Pitt steals the show as an Irish Gypsy prizefighter. Mr. Pitt, if you haven't seen him in this and other quirky roles, would appear to be just another of Hollywood pretty faces. But nobody, as pretty or less, can pull off the low-life, the unwashed, or the sleaze quite like our Brad. He is so extremely talented. It will warm your heart to see him in an entirely different venue, the UK, where few American actors could overcome the good looks and provincial fetters of US only roles. He shines and sweats, (you could almost smell this guy), he seeks vengeance and displays good old Gypsy smarts when the very bad guys burn down the family caravan with his sainted Ma within. Big credits to the artiste who created the tattoos adorning this bare-knuckles champion's stringy body and the costume designer who came up with his leather jacket and hat ensemble.

This and so much, much more could be detailed in a review to exhort readers to see this film. The only thing I can say is that once you gotten to the arm and briefcase scene, you will be glued.

* Weird But Good
What an off the wall, strange thing this movie was! A lot like Fight Club (which I'd rate with 5 stars) ... funny, low grade British comedy with an unusually good Brad Pitt -- and thank goodness his role is small!
