Review of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) by Conner R — 11 Aug 2010
Just an all around amazing movie. I can't think of a time where the movie isn't either making you laugh or giving you a perfect heist storyline. It's one of the ultimate pulp tales of all time and nothing short of brilliance.
It improves upon everything done in Pulp Fiction and makes it more than a criticism of pop culture violence and storytelling. Guy Ritchie's directing is a lot more humble, stylish and fun. The writing is rich and full, but without anything too heavy handed or outlandish.
Vinnie Jones was one of my favorite aspects of the entire movie, his relentlessness knew no bounds and he's also the most devoted father. Jason Statham also proves himself to be a god as Bacon, the street peddler and badass extraordinaire.
Nick Moran and Jason Flemyng are a great addition to the cast and make you fall in love with the movie even more. It's everything you go to the movies in hopes to see.
