Review of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) by Allison M — 14 Aug 2010
I love this movie as it has no class. Gangsters in most movies are annoying idiots dressed up in pinstriped suits with flash cars or are Italian and eat and talk way too much. In lock stock you get four working class friends who need to acquire 500 grand in a week to avoid having their fingers chopped off and worse.
Their next door neighbors rob drug dealers. What ensues is a barrage of double crossing cockney slang madness and most of the time takes the black comedy route.Guy Ritchie has a skill: the skill to take multi-layered gangster plots, weave them together, and come out with a fabric of the finest quality.
