A Classic

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2000)

This will go down as one of the best crime-comedies of all time. It's a complex story of four guys who really aren't criminals but get in way over their heads. The performances are excellent. No really stands out but they all do what there suppose to do and do it well. This is, I guess the British version of Reservoir Dogs, but I think the only thing the two have in common is the guns, language and originality. Each film is original in it's own way. This film has got unique camera shots and very dark comedy film feel, tone and look. But there is a extremely cool ending that has to be seen to believe. This is also a film where many characters float in and out of the film so you have to keep watching because something could be missed. I give this a 9.3. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is on the video shelves now, run, don't walk and go get it.
