Just perfect...
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Guy Ritchie's direction used to be spot on fun. In this film, a gambler runs up a debt with ty he worst sort and he & his crew need to find a way to repay it. Their machinations and the antics of the other men in this film touch on slapstick, underlaid with some killer, quick diogue. This is vintage Ritchie. It's only a 9 because some of the British accents make it important for the untrained ear to pay very close attention. And I say vintage Ritchie snice his last King Arthur legend film was such a disappointment.However, this film, Snatch, and Rock n Rolla are a truly fun trilogy and so worth the time spent watching. Binge all three.
Lock Stock is a superbly put together film. In just under an hour and 45 minutes it will throw you into a corner of London, dominated by thugs, drugs, violence and Cockney slang that you'll never want to leave. From the tight knit main characters to the outsiders in it for a few bob, the films mastery of over-arcing story lines left me laughing out loud and gritting my teeth in suspense. Guy Ritchie's writing is brilliant throughout; as an Englishman from the north, it felt like the dialogue was in a language I could almost understand, but gave me the warming sense like had I have been a character in the film, I most surely have been out of my depth. I loved the adventure of it, it's an incredibly immersive film that only my top scoring IMDb rated films are partial to receive. The film has unsurprisingly gone on to be an unmissable classic and should be welcome in almost anyone's film collection. It's a film that i would be happy to watch again and again, and that I likely will, for years to come.
Great movie about crime,violence,humor,peoples and drug. We can see many see in this movie about friendship and intelligence. Great cast,directing and screenplay. Beautiful the photography especially especially the great and awesome city of London. The mixture of comedy and violence was the thing that most amused me. It take many minutes to understand the plot, but when you get it you will be catch in the strange atmosphere. The director Guy Ritchie is is very very good to make us a wonderful story about criminals and murders, with many guns and murders . Many characters in a strange situation and in a strange story is what make this story awesome , intelligent and very very very good
A great film depicting a London Underground crime scene; money, drugs, and two sought after barrels.The movie is shot through interwoven stories of different operations in action beneath the legality of the city. At first you wonder how all of these characters could possibly relate to the main story, but trust me, they do, and it is a blast.A midst thievery, debauchery and bloodshed the movie delivers style, comedy, charm and it even manages to fit in an upbeat message along with it. Karma is mentioned cleverly in the film, but I'll allow the viewer to piece it all together as they watch.Pay attention though, this movie delivers just enough information to keep the plot straight!
