A favourite movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2002)

Lock Stock is an absolute ripper of a movie (one of my all time favourites), although not one for all tastes, as much of the humour comes from the overplayed cartoon violence and general mayhem. The movie starts with a bang and doesn't let up till the credits, with a number of plots weaving and dodging at a hundred miles an hour and finally resolving in a metaphoric firey collision at the end. The movie has a gritty realism derived from the consistent visuals, and pumping sound track. If you liked Pulp Fiction (and maybe even if you didn't), you'll love this.
