Review:
Great title for a gangster flick. Too bad that writer-director
Guy Ritchie only partially realizes the sizzling potential. The
movie has a good thing going in scrappy Gerard Butler, who trades
in his 300 swords and sandals to play One Two, a guppy
scam artist in London real estate hoping to learn from the great
white shark, Lenny Cole (the slumming but ever wonderful Tom
Wilkinson). All types of hoods enter the fray, with Thandie Newton
the sexiest as a crooked accountant, Mark Strong the most
intriguing as Lenny's wingman, Toby Kebbell the most dangerous as
Lenny's punk-junkie stepson, Nonso Anozie the most irresistible as
a whale-size hood who fancies fine art and Merchant Ivory films,
and Jeremy Piven and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges the most negligible
as rock promoters in a crammed cast...

A couple months ago, I flew to Seattle to do a lengthy video interview of my great uncle Henry O. Henry is probably the only actor in Hollywood who survived Mao's Cultural Revolution. Before he came to the US, he was an actor for a national troupe in China for thirty years, and was detained by the Communist regime for being from a wealthy family. He moved to the US in his mid-sixties and has since sustained a successful career as an actor in Hollywood. At age 81, he's still picking up roles?he just came back from filming 2012 with John Cusack and Thandie Newton in Vancouver. I wrote a short article about his life for Giant Robot Issue 55. Regarding Henry (Giant Robot)( Lisa Katayama is a guest blogger.)...
