Finally, Guy Ritchie should be recognized as a Michelangelo of film." Bad Guy" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and the fifth single from her first studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019). Pitt's work before this - but this one totally sold me - he is as solid an actor as ever came out of Hollywood. Brad Pitt as "Mickey O'Neil" is utterly 110% convincing. Vinnie Jones as "Bullet Tooth Tony" is total tough head to foot tough - a walking brick wall - a marine for all seasons - none tougher. (You should see him in anything he made, and read my comment about John Carpenter's movie: "Ghosts of Mars.") Alan Ford as "Brick Top" is terrifying - his forced speaking style made me think that he was chewing on the flesh of his previous victim. I must pick out specific actors who were just over the top - meaning 10+! Jason Statham as "Turkish" is simply superb - a star of very high caliber. Slow-mo, stills, black and white, and color were all used to brilliant effect. This movie will change the way movies are made. I was amazed with the freedom of the use of the camera. This movie is perfect in all its categories: credits, sound track, production, casting, writing, photography, editing, acting, and direction. ![]()
