A drug dealer's plan to retire is put on hold when his boss asks him take on a couple of tough assignments. Vaughn, the producer of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch" tries his hand at directing but should have left the job to Guy Ritchie. Vaughn tries to be slick but is annoying, stressing style over substance and reveling in gratuitous violence. Not that the substance is all that interesting anyway. The plot is hopelessly convoluted with too many uninteresting characters that are hard to keep track of. There are many things left unexplained. Craig plays the antithesis of Bond here, a cowardly fellow who hates guns and tries to run when thing get hot.
