Rating: - What a good film!
The film 'Swept Away' might have failed as miserably as Guy Richard's marriage, but his first cinematic effort was a thumping good movie! It's rather akin to how I would expect a big-screen version of 'Eastenders' to turn out (except with rather more swearing and slightly fewer shrieks of 'RICKY!!!'). It's great to see that these DVDs are available for purchase, once more! There's nothing more frustrating than logging into amazon, only to find that they're "out of (Lock,) Stock (and Two Smoking Barrels)"!!!!!!!!!!! ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Classic
This is a film in my top 5 best films ever, and a must see, Excellent comedy/action, great plot, and will be classed as a must see classic in the coming years.
Rating: - Dark humor, Guns and Cockney rhyming slang.
Lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels is a crime tale about a group of friends from London who happen to lose a game of poker, they end up in a lot of debt thus having to get out of it. The story takes many twists & turns and will also make you laugh as it has a very good use of wry & dark humor. The plot evolves around one man but there are many characters who share as if not more an important role. The star of the show in this movie is Vinnie Jones who acts brilliantly.
I recomed 'Snatch' If you like this.
Rating: - The Gangster Of Slang
This is the best British gangster film of all-time. It is The Sex Pistols of the cinema and the West Ham Utd of movies.
I can give it no higher praise or pay it a bigger compliment than saying it is up there with `Stop THe Ride I Want To Get Off` by Dave Courtney and `Till Death Us Do Part` by Garry Jackson.
I have this classic crime thriller at the cinema, in video and DVD and every time I watch it - it gets better.
Rating: - fun british crime caper
lock, stock and two smoking barrels is a fun british crime caper. With great writing, directing, acting, characthers, music, scenes, one liners and sets. It has brilliant gory action scenes, drugs, sex, guns, cockney accents, liverpudlian robbers, afros, traffic wardens, debt collectors, poker games and the best ending since the italian job. Its a perfect boozy lads friday night movie with breakthrough performances (vinnie jones, jason stathan) breakthrough directors and producers (guy ritchie and matthew vaughan) and ... Read More
