Tarentino, yes. Ritchie? I doubt it. Ritchie's first publicly released film, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels came out in 1998. As far as I know, Boondock Saints saw a limited release in 1997, then a video re-release in 1999. For some reason it's incorrectly billed as a '99 film on IMDB. But for all intents and purposes, it would be impossible for a film made prior to Guy Ritchie's work to be 'imitating' him.
