One of the different things, I guess, you use, you've got two Americans. You've got one very well known American actor, and another excellent American actor. What difference has it been you getting to working with a couple of Americans in this?

Well, it didn't make any difference during the shooting days. The only difference that it should make is in America, because you need something, you need your anchor in America, you can't just... this is my understanding, you need something that they can latch on to and relate to. So I don't think it'll make much of a difference here, but I hope it will make a difference there.

How violent is this film? Is there anything that you've learned from the Lock, Stock experience about how you handle the rough stuff, the bare knuckle boxing, whatever it is, in this movie?

No, I mean, you know, at the end of the day it's a rough film, so you know, there's going to be a bit of blood shed, and I'm not interested in explosions or violence per se unless it improves the story, and you know, you've got to believe that these guys are tough at the end of the day, so every now and again someone has to get a punch on the nose. I mean there's more punches on the nose than there is people getting shot. People even get shot. Well, quite a lot of people get shot, actually.
