Daylight Robbery director Paris Leonti has dismissed Guy Ritchie's gangster films as "plastic".
Leonti, whose debut movie revolves around a group of England football fans who use the World Cup as cover to rob a London bank, was keen to distance himself from Ritchie's work.
He told the Press Association: "I like to think that I'm nowhere near Guy Ritchie. As I said before, 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 tomorrow, while Ritchie's latest crime drama RocknRolla arrives in UK cinemas on September 5.
