Review of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) by Coley W — 01 Jul 2010
My first Guy Ritchie movie. It really wasn't as bad as I expected. I had feared it would be a lot of hip, flashy tough guys with attitude, spouting stupid one-liners and an orgy of senseless violence and all that.
Aaaaand... well, it was that, but not to the unbearable degree I thought it would be. The four guys at the center were not as annoying as the rest of the characters, at least. And Ritchie does seem to have a knack for crafting an intricate, Tarantino-esque scenario with some clever business.
The jokes weren't that great, but they weren't groaners either. I wouldn't watch it again, but it didn't fill me with hate either.
