Not much has changed in Ritchie-land, though he's swapped tweed for skintight tees and cable-knit sweaters in a rollicking high-seas adventure.
Ritchie really wants to follow in the footsteps of Tarantino. I'd suggest making one more film and then retiring. I don't mind if he skip the first part.
Even if the heavy stylization leaves the film feeling a bit arch, there’s a real affection that comes through in the homage to these early special forces soldiers. -- Katie
