'Robert's your fathers brother.'

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2017)

Lock Stock is a superbly put together film. In just under an hour and 45 minutes it will throw you into a corner of London, dominated by thugs, drugs, violence and Cockney slang that you'll never want to leave. From the tight knit main characters to the outsiders in it for a few bob, the films mastery of over-arcing story lines left me laughing out loud and gritting my teeth in suspense.
Guy Ritchie's writing is brilliant throughout; as an Englishman from the north, it felt like the dialogue was in a language I could almost understand, but gave me the warming sense like had I have been a character in the film, I most surely have been out of my depth.
I loved the adventure of it, it's an incredibly immersive film that only my top scoring IMDb rated films are partial to receive. The film has unsurprisingly gone on to be an unmissable classic and should be welcome in almost anyone's film collection. It's a film that i would be happy to watch again and again, and that I likely will, for years to come.
