Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels - Locked N Loaded

One of my all time favorites. The plot is crazy. Love bullet tooth Tony. This is a funny movie.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is an incredibly odd movie. It's complicated beyond comprehension, but your always on board and having fun. The characters are insane and enjoyable and all have THICK accents that are fun to listen to. The movie is like a British coked up version of Resevoir Dogs, as it flips around from character to character and constantly adds layers to the plot in nearly every scene. Also has a very dry sense of humor, and witty dialogue. Unfortunately, visually, the film is ugly. Everything is so yellow it almost looks like somebody urinated on the film negative. It does kind of work for the movie, but it can be repulsive at times. Overall, it's not for everyone, but those with a fondness for punchy dialogue, British humor and post- Pulp Fiction "hip gangster" movies will find little to dislike.

If you enjoy Guy Ritchie movies, this is right up your ally. It's an early version of Snatch. Jason Statham is always great in these type of movies. He isn't dishing our round house kicks, but he is part of a group of con artists/hustlers that don't have the most common sense. Very funny and the story is great. I love how everything comes together in the end. Very clever.

At the end of a decade filled with Tarantino-worshipping indie cinema, Guy Ritchie made himself a name with this fun crime flick. Using some of that QT vibe of quick-witted, cool-talking blokes in the midst of action, he filled the film with his own awesome visuals and a gang of faces that would soon become household names.

I love this movie! Same director as another favorite movie of mine, SNATCH. Great characters and story lines. I watch a lot of British movies so I am able to follow various UK accents. May be difficult for someone to follow or understand when they talk fast. Lots of graphic language and violence, be warned.
