A great British movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2007)

I love this movie as it has no class. Gangsters in most movies are annoying idiots dressed up in pinstriped suits with flash cars or are Italian and eat and talk way too much. In lock stock you get four working class friends who need to acquire 500 grand in a week to avoid having their fingers chopped off and worse. Their next door neighbours rob drug dealers. What ensues is a barrage of double crossing cockney slang madness and most of the time takes the black comedy route. The original soundtrack is execellent composed by john murphy and the acting is funny and incredibly good. This film is a blast and is much better than it should have been considering it was made on the same budget that it would cost to create a few cgi explosions in a film like the matrix. Watch it
