A Lesson in Film Making!

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2018)

They say this for film making, when you have money the production value increases and when you dont have money it encourages creativity. I dont know if that was precisely the case for Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. However, this movie is a lesson in film making.
This Guy Ritchie classic is experimental in many ways. The way it tells the story, the cuts, the camera angles and the script, it all feels fresh for a 1998 film. In many ways this film has changed the way films got made thereafter. I believe an entire generation is indebted to Guy Ritchie for changing storytelling, camera angles and scripts in cinema forever. The story of a few small time crooks and some gangsters and how their actions cross each others paths. This could be made into a serious drama. But throw in a brilliant script, loads of humour, some impeccable coming timing and an outstanding yet brave direction and what you get is a laugh riot, you wish, never ends.
British homour does not get any better. Cinema does not get any better than this.
