Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The premise is this: 3 guys rob a poker game, the owner of which (vinnie Jones) proceeds to track them down to Lithuania in order to get his money and his ring back. The rest of the movie involves the protagonists running around getting bloodied and bruised and in many near death experiences. By the end you will not care what happens to them. The movie basically comprises of many scenes where one of the 'good guys' ends up getting knocked unconscious by one of the many hateful bad guys, the movie then plods along with no real story to speak of. The characters are poor, the acting is poor, the script is below poor. Avoid like the plague.Don't believe the 6.7 rating either, it was apparently inflated by Lithuanians. The most inaccurate rating I've ever seen.
View MoreI don't recall that I have ever seen a Lithuanian film prior to this. Well, it was jointly produced with the Britain and an English language film. But most of film sets in the Lithuania, so there are many dialogues in the local and other eastern European languages. The cast was brilliant from both the countries, and an awesomely shot film too. The pace was excellent with a simple story, there are no boring parts.It totally surprised me. You know this film got a mixed response, so I was not sure about giving it a try. Anyway, I went on, but now I feel it is worth suggesting others as well. It is a road film, gangster theme as well, especially clash of the two gangs from the two different nations. It all begins when a group of friends decides to rob a criminal gang and leave the country for once. But due to their flight was redirected to Eastern Europe the misadventure begins.It was similar to 'Lost in Thailand'. I had so much fun watching it. Sometimes a film like this does not need a good story, but performances really counts and that's why I liked it. It is not a multiple times watchable film, but for once and twice, the entertainment is guaranteed. There is a possibility for a sequel and I would definitely yes for that.7/10
View MoreSomewhat slapstick, but I think it was well written, nicely sequenced and the actors performed well. It was a great late night watch and I cannot complain.I laughed my head off in more than a few scenes and I don't laugh easily ;) at most things that amuse others. For example, I found Fargo and Pulp Fiction to be hilarious! Emilis has done a good job directing the film. A bit of Coen favor,some shades of Guy Ritchie and of course some inspiration from Tarantino. Overall a good one time watch. unlikely to be a classic, but IMO much better than other stuff that masquerades as comedy!
View MoreBritish humor was always the best around! This time it took the criminals for the Eastern European ride. Ever since the titles like "Two Smoking Barrels...", "Everybody Loves the Sunshine", "Snatch" or "51st State", they showed how funny the cultural, financial, genetic compilation, esp. "in the hands" of urban rough guys, can be Honestly, this time I wasn't dying laughing or scratching nervously, 'cause most of the things I've already seen the tricks. Even though this time it took me to a ride with the literally biggest east-Europeans around (there are also Montenegrians to count in in the "sizey" manner!) So, it all gets more interesting when confronted, with Mr Vinnie Jones in front! Anyway still loads of funny moments typical for the type of movie...
