I'm making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it's recieved well, perhaps I'll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.

Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it's original.

What about Snatch? I liked that he played a loser who was always just one step away of getting murdered.

I'll have to watch it again to see. I think it's from before he was typecast though, or before he decided to lean in to the typecast. Lucky for me it's raining and doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon so there's no time like the present.

I think the last good thing I saw him in was The Bank Job and that was ages ago. I wouldn't mind the typecasting if the films were that interesting and entertaining.

It was from before. Amazing movie, he doesn't fight at all, just yells at Tommy the tit and manages illegal boxers. Tol 10 movie. Also lock stock and two smoking barrels, similar to snatch, but about card games. Both guy Ritchie, both around 2000, both top tier.
