One Word Sums this Movie Up- Clever

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2007)

Before Jason Statham was a big name action hero With little acting ability ( see Cranked, Transporter 1 & 2) , he had tremendous ability which was best displayed in this tricky little film buy Guy Ritchie. Throw in some all-time likable tough guys like Vinnie Jones Lenny McClean and you have the mix of a good crime drama. The thing is, this wasn't a crime drama. Lock Stock was much more than this, it made me laugh, sweat, act squeamish, and still made me attached to some of it's characters. In my opinion this movie was better then Snatch although Snatch had the big American actor to back it, Brad Pitt. This simple but ingeniously scrapped together story about a mean porn king and a group of underachievers in London taps all the emotions of the viewer. It's a shame Lenny Mclean passed after acting in this film because he was easily one of the true tough SOB's both on and off the set and would have been a great actor for some time. If you like comedies, dramas, action, or movies in general, this is a must see!!! - Don't be a Tit
