I think what people really hate about this film is that they go in expecting one thing and come out with something completely different. This was a great movie, in terms of how they incorporated modernity. The acting was great, however some parts were cheesy acting. Dramatic as you would expect, but being able to translate what they are saying into what they are doing is arguably one of the best parts of watching this film.
Also! the old english sophistication mixed in with modern street conflict was very risky but pulled off well! Starting out and continuing out as a comedic relief, it became something great for the film and its ending.
