no, no it's not. Saying a movie had no plot is a perfectly good reason to call it bad, in fact, I would say it's one of the []best[/b] reasons to not like a movie. Besides, get off your high horse, people are allowed to not like movies for any reason they want, and when they don't like it, that doesn't mean they are too simple and didn't understand it, it's possible that people just don't have the same interests.

Anyway, there was no plot, it was completely unstructured. Robbers come to his shop, he beats them up, then another chapter started in which ed harris was the problem, then once the ed harris problem was solved, it was the new Ritchie problem, then he went and solved that. It was 3 segments of short problems that he solved with 20 seconds of fighting...I would say it maybe had 3 extremely short, underdeveloped plots smashed together to make a movie.

saying the plot was dealing with his past is ridiculous, the audience hardly learned anything at all about his past except he had mob ties. And if that was the plot, there was no resolution, he killed people, he went home, and his kids gave him dinner, ok, what caused the change in their attitudes? Why did his son suddenly stop hating him? someone already said it was weird how he and his wife were fighting and then started having sex out of no where, it just didn't make sense. He was a schizo? He remembered his past, he said he didn't think Joey would come back again, but then they just leave him off in the end, still schizo from what we know, but he just killed more ties to his previous life, I'm not sure that's what I would call "dealing with it," it's more just completely severing it to try to go back to his "normal" and fake life, which is basically what they did. In the end, the family was back to normal, they had not dealt with their father/husband's violent and mentally disturbed past at all, he had just cut it off from his Tom Stall character even more, he never resolved the issue with his wife or son, they were just automatically resolved when he was killing his brother in Philadelphia (and in the process trying to further himself from his past, instead of actually dealing with it)
