    I saw it last night and despite the naysayers thought it was great. A couple of minor flaws:

    -The thing where the Russians end up killing Steve was kind of predictable after they went after Skinny Pete (what ethnicity was he supposed to be anyway, Samoan?), but was a twist from most of the movie where you thought he would end up getting killed by Stella. Interesting to note tho that the good guys don't kill anybody the entire movie (which now that I think about it they also didn't in Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels or, aside from Mick's friends, in Snatch). There actually wasn't a lot of violence in the movie at all, aside from John and the pawn shop guy I don't remember anyone getting killed on-screen.

    -Stella and John were supposedly from Philly, so where are the accents? :) And sorry but no real Philadelphians drive Minis.

    -Ed Norton with a porn-star moustache doesn't really work, altho maybe he wanted it to show a different side since I believe this is the first time he's ever played a bad guy (at least in anything I've seen).

    -The biggest flaw for me: Who were the guys that Steve conspired with to take the gold at the beginning and why the hell did they let him keep all of it? If the other guys weren't getting a cut why did they help him?
