Written and directed by talented newcomer Guy Ritchie, this is one of those movies that was destined to become an instant cult classic à la Reservoir Dogs. Although some comparisons were drawn between Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino, it would be unfair to discount the brilliant wit of the story and the innovative camerawork that the director brings to his debut feature. Not since The Krays has there been such an accurate depiction of the East End and its more colorful characters. Indicative of the social stratosphere in London, Ritchie's movie is a hilarious and at times touching account of friendships and loyalty. The director and his mates (who make up most of the cast) clearly are enjoying themselves here. This comes across in some shining performances, in particular from ex-footballer Vinnie Jones (Big Chris) and an over-the-top Vas Blackwood (as Rory Breaker), who very nearly steals the show. Full of quirky vernacular and clever tension-packed action sequences, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a triumph--a perfect blend of intelligence, humor, and suspense. --Jeremy Storey

Customer Reviews of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Enjoyable-- --and funny just to imagine the plot, but on the whole it was rather confusing. I don't think the lighting worked very well for most of the film, and the dialogue was hard to understand for me, even though I skimmed the translator extra. <

>I like movies of this brit pulp genre, like Snatch, because usually they're so stylized and witty. This one seemed to only fill half the glass in that genre.
Full of fast, understated wit
If you are the type of person that can't handle fast quips and subtle humor, this movie might be lost on you. As for me, this is one of my all-time favorites. The way the movie is filmed, the soundtrack, and (of course) the brilliant dialogue all blend together to make a wonderful movie that you can watch over and over again. The lives of all the characters (criminals all, in one way or another) converge slowly only to eventually end in chaos, but it's believable...it doesn't seem contrived. Buy this movie and pray that Guy Ritchie one day makes films like this and "Snatch" again.
Great First Outing
As Guy Ritchie's Directorial Debut - this was a GREAT movie. It has all the prime elements of a fabulous Dark Comedy - an Anti-Hero, plenty of Violence, Lots of intertwining character developments and some great comic lines. This was the first movie that I ever saw Jason Stratham in and I knew he would be big. (and I was right!)

>I love British Comedy and Dark Comedy - and this has BOTH
<
>Fans of films like Fight Club and Pulp Fiction will love this film.
<
>But - with all that being said, I still think that "Snatch" was better. This is a great intro to Guy Ritchie's films and style, but you really should also get his second film too and watch them together - you won't be sorry
