Manic, Violent and just barely Sane -- Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

by telynor telynor is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 29 '02
Pros: Quick, convoluted scrip. Interesting directing style.
Cons: The violence level is high. Substance abuse, gambling, and torture of an old couple.
After watching Snatch, I knew I had to sit down and watch this one. Director Guy Ritchie brings us this convoluted tale of: illegal gambling, loansharking, two antique rifles, a sport's mad mob boss, and cannabis. How all of this ties up into one...

A disgrace to criminals everywhere. LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS.

by talyseon, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 01 '08
Pros: Brilliantly crafted, wickedly funny, this movie is hilarious and rapid fire.
Cons: Body count 16. F-Bombs, 125. If this does not bother you, no cons.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. (1998) Written and Directed by Guy Richie."A minute ago this was the safest job in the world. Now it's turning into a bad day in Bosnia." Soap.Eddie (Nick Moran), Bacon (Jason Statham), ...

Cheeky Bastard Is The Only Future Of Something Quite Opposite To Hollywood In FOH Write-Off

by kuuleimomi Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 10 '01
Pros: Acting, Directing, Screenplay, Camera Work, Soundtrack, Dialogues, the whole Production
Cons: Language [English, that is]
Thinking of the upcoming days of the forest in California I find myself grinning at a thought that it will destroy itself. Good movies no longer belong to it and the new talent prefers to stay true to itself and stay away from the mountain on the west...

The Guy Ritchie Chronicles Part 1: Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels DVD

by JuiceJW , Jul 04 '01
Pros: A rare film these days; impeccable visual style, and incredibly intelligent!
Cons: A less than adequate video transfer.
BUCKLE UP

Eddy: "They're armed."

Soap: "Armed!? armed with what?"

Eddy: "Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with?...

Pulp Fiction Meets "East Enders."

by basesurge , Nov 30 '04
Pros: Fun little movie
Cons: Flat ending. To complex for it's own good at times. Difficult British accents.
The East of London is a place where the tourists usually don't set foot. It is to London what Hell's Kitchen in to New York or South Central is to LA. East Enders are not the cream of British society. If you need drugs, or some sex toys, or ...

I Can't Chevy Chase your Brad Pitt today....(The Brits are obsessed with Guns)

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 22 '01
Pros: Humor will have you rolling on the floor, You get to learn a new language
Cons: Violence and death violence and death. subtitles don't always help
Roughly translated in Cockney Rhyming slang the title means "I can't face your nonsense (the word rhymes with 'Pitt') today.

This movie is Guy Ritchie's second, although practically nothing is known about his first,...

This movie rules!

by copernicus , Apr 23 '01
Pros: Great acting; funny storylines; good characters; its just good
Cons: a lot of bloodshed
To begin with, this movie is not Hollywood. You don’t need the strong Cockney accents to tell you that much. The thing that underlines this is the style of moviemaking. It is not flashy, its not particularly noisy and there are no mushy sidelines, or in...

Lock Stock and one great film

by musicc , Jul 25 '06
Pros: Direction, acting, plot twists, soundtrack, genius ending
Cons: plot is confusing on first viewing
After watching Snatch and looking into other Guy Ritchie films I knew I had to see Lock Stock and two smoking barrels. So I finally rented it and I loved it. When you compared it to Snatch (Guy Ritchie’s follow up film) they are similar ...

The return of the great caper film

by redwolfoz , May 01 '00
Pros: Fast paced, clever and original comedy
Cons: May alienate some American viewers
For me this is one of the best movies made in recent years, but it is definitely not going to be for everyone. It is an incredibly funny and entertaining story of four likely lads out to earn an easy buck.

What starts out as a high stakes...

S-S-Smokin!!

by Grouch Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 12 '99
Pros: A plot at the speed of light
Cons: Thick British accents
Put "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" into the VCR, then sit back on your couch and fasten your seatbelt. This is one wild ride at the movies.

At times reminiscent of "Trainspotting" and Tony Scott films ("True...

"Lock, Stock and Two Thumbs Up!"

by mgreber Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 15 '00
Pros: Rough comedy with original film-making
Cons: Cockney and crassness might turn some viewers off
An initial disclaimer: I have to apologize for the completely cheesy title to this review. I simply couldn't help myself.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a well constructed tale, complete with it’s fair share of humor,...

Best Thing from Limeyland Since the Beatles.

by willbradbury , Aug 16 '01
Pros: A frollicking, feisty flick as far as dialogue, style, and storytelling goes.
Cons: Unfairly accused of stylistic plagiarism.
Machismo abounds in Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (the most adorable caper flick since the Coen Brother’s Fargo): that petrous-pecked, leaping-tall-buildings-in-brilliant-bounds, clumping, thumping, goosestepping, biceps-flexing...

Lock, Stock, 55 Inches of British Fun

by Daystorm , Jan 06 '01
Pros: Incredibly fast plotting and so many pieces that you're blown away when they all fall into place
Cons: A bit hard to understand the dialogue and things fall a LITTLE too neatly
Fifty-five inches.

That's why I saw the movie. Fifty-five inches. Fifty-five inches of glowing pixels projected against a flat fiberglass screen. For Christmas, my friends had gotten a huge 55 inch projection television, and we decided to...

good movie on it's own merit

by splitsurround , Mar 13 '00
Pros: direction, acting, plot twists
Cons: a bit trendy and derivative in style
"Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" is an exciting, fast-paced, hip crime/drug dealing/violence/quirky young British film. These are the films' strong and weak points, depending on who you're talking to. Some adjectives I heard were...

Lock, Stock, it's Guy Ritchies Best!

by britguy , Feb 20 '01
Pros: Cracking Pace, Great Dialogue, Brilliant Film!
Cons: Yes! A few of the actors are, indeed, real criminals!
Every moviemaker has one movie by which all of their other work is judged, and this will be Guy Ritchie's.
In case you don't know, he is British, and married to Madonna.
Only one of those two facts really matters though, and it ain't being...
