Like a steam engine

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2000)

This movie sports a cast of people I'd never heard of. I think that was part of what makes it great. It starts slow, admittedly, but once it's going, it's a runaway train. I've watched it three times in the past two weeks, and like it more each time. The characters are detailed and believable, the dialogue, while unusual, is original and hilarious, and the plot is nothing short of tangled. Highly recommended. I've heard it referred to (MAXIM, January 2000) as the British ripoff of Pulp Fiction. Whoever wrote that obviously never saw Pulp Fiction, or perhaps wasn't properly medicated at the time of the review. LS&2SB is an excellent first effort by Guy Ritchie and I anxiously await his next film.
