Amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2001)

I saw this movie when it first came out in North America over a year ago, and instantly loved it. After years and years of Hollywood, this movie was so refreshing and creative, not to mention hilarious. Lock, Stock is probably one of my favorites of all time, not because it's one of those "great movies", but because it's just so entertaining to watch. Guy Ritchie is a wicked director, he has style and flash without using lots of money or special effects. I've heard some people argue that Lock, Stock is similar to Pulp Fiction, and Ritchie to Tarantino. I don't really agree with this. Pulp Fiction was an interesting and important movie for Hollywood, but not one I would watch more than once or twice. It wasn't even very funny. Lock, Stock on the other hand, is extremely entertaining and hilarious. Ritchie's style is cool and unique, even if he was inspired by Tarantino. Whatever the case, the world could use more great directors like this. I gave Lock, Stock a 10/10. Go see this movie if you haven't done so yet, you'll be glad you did.
