Lock, Stock and
Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

Rate: 5
Viewed: 12/04, 8/07

8/07: From the United Kingdom, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels has an enormous reputation of being an ultra-cool picture that would lead to Snatch.

Unfortunately, it doesn't stand the test of time. If I compare both pictures, it's easy to see how much the latter improved in all aspects of filmmaking. I don't like the characters, most especially Rory Breaker. Some of them are annoying and stupid. Yet the style, story, and cinematography score points.

All in all, it's too bad Guy Ritchie didn't make any more because Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are the alpha and omega of his career.
