Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

merelyaninnuendo Lock, Stock And Two Smoking BarrelsIf its anything that enlightens this sketchy gangsta feature, its the gripping and hilarious screenplay which even though walks on the same tone in each phase works like a charm. Guy Ritchie's eerie execution and tone takes time to settle in but the writing part is too strong for anything to factor in which later on creates issues as it is a flat out zero on character's perspective. And on terms of performance level, the feature delivers the expectancy and nothing beyond than that for the actors weren't given enough space and range in it. Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels is of course a plot driven movie that satisfies the fantasy of gangsta movie goers as it spices it up with comic sequences but as far as genuine reasoning, characters and practicality is concerned; its a no go.

sir-mauri Bacon, Soap and the guys have a plan. All 4 will put up 25K for a 100k high stakes poker game and make it rich, split the winnings. When Harry, cheats in the game the gang finds themselves oweing him half a million. Their neighbors are crooks and going to knock off some drug dealers. The gang decides they will rob the bad guys to get the money to pay Harry. Seems like a simple plan, and then things start to go wrong. A really good movie. One of Stathem's earlier flicks in which he actually doesn't fight. The movie starts out with 4 story lines that seem separate but then are all interlinked come the movie's end. It has some comedic moments mixed in too. The best part is the ending. It is kind of a choose your own adventure ending where they leave you just enough to decide how you want it to end of the gang. If you have not seen it and you enjoy Pulp Fiction type movies you will enjoy Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Leofwine_draca A complex, ultra-black comedy packed with violence and profanity, this is one of the best films to come out of Britain in recent years. Ignore the seriousness of other thrillers like FACE, and instead concentrate on the hilarious dialogue and fun characters which this film is full of. From 'Hatchet Harry' to 'Barry the Baptist', this film has an endless parade of clichéd villains who are an absolute delight to watch, not least Vinnie Jones' hard debt collector who enjoys slamming people's heads in a variety of doors.There's an obvious influence here from Tarantino's work, but the two directorial styles are very different. Director Guy Ritchie has some weird, trippy moments in this film, to counteract the smoothness of other scenes. The comedy comes from the increasingly confused situation in the film, and is consistently funny. The acting is all pretty good, with top marks going to Dexter Fletcher ("Guns for show, knives for a pro"). The violence is frequent but never done in a serious matter; there are loads of shoot-outs and bodies everywhere, but they're not to be taken seriously. Basically, this film is perfectly done and one of the liveliest London gangster films ever made. See it!

John Brooks I'm no Guy Ritchie supporter or anything and therefor in reviewing this film I remain more objective than some might be. This here is a heavily English action-comedy, I emphasize its country of origin as some might be too foreign to its cultural tinge and should be mindful of that during its viewing. Slang, talking speed, the attitudes overall...it's definitely different, and this film wasn't made to be a polished flavorless ready-to-sell-internationally item. It's authentic, rough in places but never too much and showcases an effortless (and surprising ?) balance of humor and comedy, along with hard-hitting, raw action. Its main plot is uber simple, but that's totally fine. In fact, it makes it better. Because now the movie has its trigger and the movie-makers can focus on all the rest: the little subplots, the humor, involving other characters and parties to the core of the story, before unleashing an ultimate climax at the end that is, again, very simple, almost too simple; and yet, at the risk of sounding over-complacent, it works - fits that story and mood perfectly. No reason film shouldn't be this way from time to time. Yeah it's simple, but it's effective, lots of fun, runs so smoothly and where it isn't deep and what not, it's highly entertaining, and you can't just make 'highly entertaining' if you don't know movie making.
