Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels [Blu-ray]

This is early Guy Ritchie and early Jason Statham before becoming an internationally recognized action star. The storytelling is all Ritchie with its frenetic pacing and setups with multiple characters seemingly divergent but inevitably tied together at hip. Great stuff!

Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels is a fantastic british crime drama that has more the disposition of a black comedy than anything else. in the Tradition of quinton tarintino films, this movie is stylish and compelling. With a character driven story and a long convoluted plot. The story follows a group of small time thieves who get way into deep in a game of cards. This sets of an INSANE chain reaction of events, all centered somehow around 2 antique shotguns worth a half million pounds - of course no one knows how much they're worth!!This is one of the most ironic movies of it's type you'll find. The way all the shiesty characters are brought together in the film is brilliant and entertaining. You've got crosses and double crosses and triple crosses, and in the climax you have the stage set for a major disaster as everyone is killing everyone else, with thanks to great confusion and mistaken identity.The actual plot twists turns are far too complex to go over in this review just suffiuce it to say that you'll be watching the movie laughing to yourself at the unbelievable turns of fate that unfold on the screen. The wild web of relationships between the characters is simply hilarious. There are chracters working for people they dont even know they are working for who end up killing their own boss unkowingly in the confusion. The camera style is excellent and the english flair is a nice component to the overall feel of the movie in comparison to typical american crime culture flicks. This is a must see for fans of resevoir dogs, pulp fiction, jackie brown, playing god, good fellas, or any similar movie. this is just one of those movies you'll have to sit down and watch in order to see what all the full is about.Very well written and well directed, Lock stock and two smoking barrels is an enjoyable experience all around.

comedy, action, a little bit of thug violence, poor gambling choices; all the usual English suspects of a nice crime...

Just rewatched this last night great movie, watch 'snatch' after this. Same actors and humor.

Not cruel to watch in the sense of anything violent or anything, but it is cruel. Watch the movie and you'll see what I mean. I'm still not over it.

Brilliant plot, great action, great actors.

Item exactly as described. Came earlier than expected!

Awesome movie with great talented actors and actresses.
