Rating: Null/10 (2 December 1999)

The new Trainspotting? Let's not get too excited.
The good news is, Lock Stock is an occasionally amusing, cleverly plotted Sahf Landan crime thriller with a fine acting debut from one Vinnie Jones. On the debit side, we have, well, everything else.
The actors are mostly amateurs, and it shows; more importantly, the dialogue is frequently cringemaking, seemingly the work of a 14 year-old Tarantino wannabe from the East End. Throw in the self-consciously trendy visual style and you have a film which reminds you of every 14 year-old Tarantino wannabe in the world; like them, it's not half as cool as it thinks it is.
