         A Russian millionaire Uri Omovich plans big time in London with his mega projects,but he needs the support of Lenny to get approval from he government.Lenny charges a hefty sum and Uri agrees to pay him next day .Lenny gets attracted to a painting of Uri,which is considered as his lucky painting but Uri allows Lenny to keep the painting till the deal is over.Uri's accountant Stella arranges the money but she turns out to be a women of greed as she tips the money deal to One-two for a 20% commission.One-two and Mumbles steals the money and promptly pays Stella her commission.Uri fails to keep his promise with Lenny.

   This comes as a blessing in disguise for Lenny as Uri's painting which was hanged on Lenny's office gets stolen.An annoyed Lenny assigns Archy to find the painting.Things gets bitter between Uri and Lenny as Uri imports two hit men from Russia to solve the crisis.Now the movie is about the stolen money and stolen painting with lots of players getting involved in this fun filled thriller.

            A typical Guy Ritchie British movie.The movie will certainly make you laugh.All the cast has done full justice to their respective roles.Lots of sub plots makes it confusing at one moment but the director has  succeeded in bringing sense towards the end.A one time watch ....

TIP OF THE DAY: THINGS YOU OWN END UP OWNING YOU.
