France loves slick caper films with cold, removed protagonists. Italy loves Dirty Harry knockoffs with hot-headed cops and criminals.

Guy Ritchie cut his teeth on exactly that kind of interplay with Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThere’s no better representation of this stylistic cul-de-sac than The Long Good Friday. A secondary school dropout and lower-class tough himself, Hoskins was amazingly deft and channeling these kinds of roles. His ability to be at once violent and menacing, while also ingratiating and tender, gave him the perfect affect of a calculating killer, for whom a switch could be flipped at any moment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;
