...would be more interesting than this. Other posters have detailed the plot, and I won't waste your time with another synopsis. The movie starts out well with some outrageous sight gags: the world's worse hair styling, and US currency printed with "TWELVE". Rather quickly, things unravel - not the plot, as there is none to speak of. There are scenes that were interesting. My favorite could be summarized as "the assassin cleans up". Other people have voted for the "the restaurant shoot-up where nearly everyone dies". However, this scene was better done in both "Scarface", and "Hard Boiled". Is this a "con" film? "House of Cards", and "9 Queens" are substantially better. Is this an "alter ego flick? "Fight Club" is better. Is this a "dream" movie? "The Machinist" and "Open Your Eyes" are much better. A "gangster" flick? "Good Fellas", and even Ritchie's "Lock, Stock..." and "Snatch" are much better. I guess Ritchie got tired of making entertaining movies about English crooks, and decided to make a pretentious, dreadfully boring movie about US crooks. There are scenes which you should never be forced to watch, as they violate both international agreement and constitutional protection against cruel punishment. Seeing Ray Liotta's paunchy, shaved body, clad only in skin-tight bikini underwear, gazing knowingly into another man's eyes...you wonder which team he's playing for - not that there's anything wrong with that. For most of the movie, Jason Statham is staring straight into the camera with the "what the hell is going on" look in his eyes - exactly the same expression you'll have after you see this. I picked this movie up at a Shanghai street market for the equivalent of 65 cents (US) - I overpaid. The subtitles are in English, but have nothing to do with what's happening in the movie (Ray Liotta's finger is shot off, and the subtitles read "I love downhill skiing!"). If you were deaf, and read the subtitles, you wouldn't have any idea of what's going on - exactly the experience if you listen to it in English.
