"It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the best film of the 20th century!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2005)

If I were to chose one, just one, movie of all the ones I've seen and say that this is with no doubt my absolute favorite one I would pick Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Because, in my opinion, it is the best movie ever created.
The most important thing for a film is story. And most of the good stories are based around the characters. And Lock, Stock has got some of the best characters around. Barry the Baptist, Ed, Soap, Tommy, Bacon, The Ganja Guys, Rory Breaker, Big Chris & Little Chris, Hatchet Harry, the list goes on and on. And each and every one of them get's their moment to shine.
The second most important thing is how you tell the story. In some cases, it is actually more important than the actual story. A person who had actually heard the famous fairy teller H.C. Andersen said that he was popular for his way of telling a his stories. And if anyone can tell a good story it is Guy Ritchie. The way you get the story in Lock, Stock is really, really sweet.
Sure, Guy has obviously been inspired by Quentin Tarantino, but he is not the only one. Lock, Stock contains the essence of good film-making from the last centuary and, for example, the movie has also got a lot of references to the works of Sergio Leone.
So to me this movie is perfect. The actors, script, characters, dialouge etc. Every single piece. There is a reason this is my favorite movie of all time.
Well, I can't talk any more know. Writing this review made me wanna watch Lock, Stock again. And so should you.
