Review of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) by Frank C — 23 Dec 2014
The film that started it all. Guy Ritchie's debut is a slick and twisted thriller that exemplifies the director's style. However, he does get a little carried away with the fancy camerawork and visual effects.
Thankfully the story is well-written and pretty easy to follow, both necessary to keep the viewer interested and engaged. While the ending can be considered to be a twist, it still wasn't smart enough to elevate the film to something of a Tarantino or a Fincher.
Still, it is nice to see Britain's dark side given the same treatment as many an American crime world.
