Rock/Soul/Funk/Dub

Many years ago, when Madonna's face wasn't yet pulsing with veins and her wack juice hadn't crippled the vision of a young Guy Ritchie, the director turned out an artful homage to gambling, violence, thievery, and Sting in a non-musical role. And while the soundtrack perfectly complements the thoroughly truculent (and very English) flick, boasting offerings from boldnames like Dusty Springfield, drum-n-bass Brits E-Z Rollers, to Stooges and the EPIC Junior Murvin reggae single "Police And Thieves" (that would later go on to be recorded by The Clash), it's James Brown who captures the romp-stomping, name-taking, artillery-hoarding, rampant badassery embodied by this cult classic.
