Director Paris Leonti doesn't want his British crime movie Daylight Robbery filed alongside the London gangster films of Guy Ritchie.
Leonti actually goes as far to say that Ritchie's characters are "plastic".
His debut film concerns a group of England football fans who use the World Cup as cover to rob a London bank but he feels his edgy crooked characters are more realistic than those created by Madonna's husband.
"I like to think that I'm nowhere near Guy Ritchie," he said. "Guy Ritchie makes plastic gangster films. He writes about characters that [are] caricatures. Whereas mine are real characters, they are actually London boys, they're robbing a bank.
"It's the real thing and hopefully when people watch it they will appreciate what I'm trying to do. I am trying to change people's minds on all these over-played, exaggerated gangster movies."
Daylight Robbery is released today and Ritchie's return to the crime genre, RocknRolla, opens on September 5.
