Summary: Wicked Cool!
Review: Guy Ritchie, I envy you. What other filmaker could make a film so exciting, hillarious, cool, and thrilling as Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels? Tarentino? His time has come and gone. You are the wave of the future. LS&2SB is a masterpiece of wickedly cool proportions. Yet, between the unbelievably wonderful and mind boggling camerawork, the shining performances (in particular, Nick Moran and Vas Blackwood), the twisting and turning storyline and the rollercoaster soundtrack (which all of you must buy, and do get the British version) one element is fresher than all. Your incredible, street credible diolouge is snappy and crisp and this is one more reason to get the DVD version. It comes with a translator. Bloody good idea, you Rob Roy you! Good luck on Snatch'd. I await it eagerly. But for now LS&2SB is your masterpeice. Also if anyone knows were I can get your real first film, "Hard Time", let me know by posting a message indicating where I can find it. Thank you and God bless!

Summary: Simply a masterpiece
Review: An unbelievably good piece of cinema, LS2SB makes most other films seem drab and lacklustre. This is without doubt one of the great films of the past decade, joining the likes of The Thin Red Line, The Spanish Prisoner, Big Night, and American Beauty as truly original, truly wonderful '90's films. If you liked Pulp Fiction, you'll LOVE LS2SB. It's no stretch to herald this film as a work of genius - a blend of great casting, great writing, and critically astute directing. The surreal scene when Eddie loses at the card game and stumbles out into the street is unparalleled in modern cinema. You will feel yourself in his shoes immediately, nauseous and reeling, unable to comprehend anything beyond the staggering reality of what has just occured. Great debut, Guy Ritchie -- can't wait to see what's next!

Summary: Quite simply - you should buy it!
Review: Some films are must-buys. This is one. Why? Multi-layered plot, quirky, modern, original, good acting, real villains playing the villains, and yet it harks back to the ol' British gangster flicks (the more things change etc...). Also look out for four NEW Lock Stock films co-produced and co-written by Guy Ritchie which are currently coming out on VHS in Britain (not yet in US), and which use the same "success model": Lock, Stock &...... Four Stolen Hooves/200 Smoking Kalashnikovs/Spaghetti Sauce/One Big Bullock. So run down your apple and pears, ignore the trouble and strife and buy these before everything goes pear-shaped!

Summary: The BrittisH Suicide Kings
Review: A truly funny movie that rivals pulp fiction and suicide kings in the dark comedy department. The charaters were funny and likable and a few appearacnes by rocker sting make it an entertaining movie

Summary: Impressing and truly refreshing
Review: I loved that film. It had been a while til I didn't get as much excitement as in my favourite movie, Pulp Fiction. But with that one, I can assure you if you like action movies, you'll be very entertained. It's simultaneously relaxing, funny, sometimes complicated, and very entertaining stuff. The beginning is very good and captivating, makes you enter in the movie right from the start. That is one of the great parts of it. There is also that very mysterious side that we can find in country or gangster movies, those two smoking barrels that just bring us to another atmosphere, a very bizarre and unreal feeling that you are either the predator or the dominated, you see. Actors play very good, and we know very quickly that the plot is gonna be very interesting. I recommend it to every action and comedy fans.

Summary: Fun, Bold Entertainment
Review: "Lock Stock" was a really cool witty action film. At first, I honestly didn't think that I would like it, seeing that I really hate british films but this one was different. It had style and class that most films in both America and Europe lack. And the soundtrack to this film is simply unbelievable! The only thing that I found trouble with is the actor's accent. You just might have to put it on caption. I now have a high anticipation on what Guy Ritche's next film. Overall, "Lock Stock" is a reccomended film that should be viewed more than once.

Summary: A really fun movie
Review: As long as violence doesn't bother you this movie is a Pulp Fiction look alike with an Irish spin. The film is about a group of Irish friends who are looking for the big score of their life. Through a series of interactions with various groups of criminals, misfits, and incredibly funny happenings, they eventually manage to make their score but the twists and turns toward the end actually make the viewer want to rewatch the movie to see what you potentially could have missed. It is funny, exciting, interesting and a DVD you will want to watch with friends again and again.

Summary: A brilliant directorial debut
Review: After four moderately clean boys (relative to the other characters of the film) find themselves way over their heads in debt, they dream up a plan to cover their debt and put them on easy street. As they end up crossing villain after villain they are finally tracked down. Their adventures make for a perfectly insane story with a brilliant, ambiguous ending. Guy Ritchie has a masterpiece here. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a brilliantly woven together jumble of plot twists within plot twists all culminating at the end in a perfectly neat and tidy package. Ritchie brought music video cinematography to this movie and it could not have worked better. Each and every scene is portrayed perfectly by the toned down colors and hyper-frenetic camera play. The acting is perfect, clearly bringing across the cleverness, brutality, or sheer stupidity of the characters. Ritchie et al. have brought the gangster film into the 90's and done an impeccable job of it. While the movie plays loudly and outrageously, there are constant subtle undercurrents and great implications concerning everyone involved. While not especially deep, LS&2SB makes for a hilariously fun ride.
