They have absolutely no chemistry together. And there's a painfully obvious lack of any humor in the film, which is pretty much the only thing that could have made this Snatch (or Lock, stock) 23 tolerable. Also, Downey's English accent is possibly the worst I've ever seen. I honestly would have preferred it had he spoken with his natural American accent, it would have been far less cringe-inducing, authenticity be damned.

In short, a shit film from a shit director who simply refuses to roll over and die already. Serves me right for spending time and money on this.
