A Class Act.

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2006)

I made a few attempts to watch Lock , Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels . Once on T.V. and twice on DVD and with failure always found my-self losing interest (maybe because there was a lot more going on the out-side of my life ) . However last night for some reason or another I sat down and watched it and yes it really was that dame good . The dialogue was classy , the jokes hit the spot and I did find it to be some what addictive viewing . This film goes up there with Pulp Fiction , it does require a close following to but once you get sucked in , trust me you will love every second of it ! The plot is wacky , the ride that follows after that is a barrel of laughs . The main character's are not trying to go OTT on acting like hard men but it flows naturally even their dim-witted behaviour . I would say that my favourite characters would have to be Soap for his witty comments especially when it come to knives , Vinnie Jones who seems to play a very questionable roll model to his son as his line of work is not totally kosher but my absolute favourite has to be the football loving yardie Rory Breaker played with brilliance by Vas Blackwood (His I'll kill ya speech just can't stop making me laugh ) . This one Britian's finest exports , highly entertaining stuff , not to be missed with plenty of reply value , but thats what you would expect from the man who gave you Snatch . I would like to say more but I feel that will be killing the buzz of movie , so just check it out for your-self .
LOCK , STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS : 8.3 OUT OF 10
FOR NOW THIS IS THE SHADOWMAN WISHING YOU GOODNIGHT AND GOOD LUCK .
