				"You show me how to 
				control a wild f***ng gypsy, and I'll show you how to control an 
				unhinged,
				pig-feeding gangster." - Turkish 
				Why watch this? It's 
				a fast-moving, hard-hitting London crime drama. 
				Plot Summary: 
				This crime story weaves together two main plots within the 
				London criminal underworld: one following the chaotic search for 
				a stolen, massive diamond, and the other focusing on a 
				small-time boxing promoter navigating the dangers of illegal 
				bare-knuckle boxing. A diverse cast of eccentric characters, 
				including unscrupulous jewel thieves, dangerous gangsters, and a 
				nearly incomprehensible gypsy boxer, all become entangled in a 
				web of double-crosses and unexpected twists. Dad's Preview: 
				I knew Guy Ritchie as one of Madonna's many husbands. Who knew 
				the guy could direct? Well, he can. This quick, tense, funny, 
				English gangster film hops around more than a Mexican jumping 
				bean, but man, is it a great ride. I am still mad at the Oscars 
				for not recognizing the phenomenal job Brad Pitt for his role as the 
				tough-ass gypsy boxer, Mickey O'Neil.
