Caption says it all. Being one of my favourite directors, I can't avoid feeling that Ritchie has lost his magic, that uniqueness that he used to bring to all his movies. It has come to a point where he just repeats a certain formula, which works if you want to develop an entertaining product, but nothing else. And that structure applies to everything: the plot, the characters, the rhythm, the action scenes, the development of the story... You go into the film with expectations (Why shouldn't I? It's Guy Ritchie!), hoping for good quality, and you get something that is starting to feel generic, repetitive. Perfomances are on point, of course, the plot is interesting enough and the action scenes keep up, but still, you just feel that the film got through you without anything memorable to remember. I'm just waiting for Ritchie to return to his best shape, but maybe I'm setting the bar too high.
