Cool Movie With Interesting Characters And An Interesting Situation

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2009)

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is a very fun criminal movie which keeps the audience quite entertained throughout.
It starts out with a plethora of characters, each one more interesting and unique that the first. As neat as all of these characters are, it does get a bit confusing in the beginning to tell who's on whose side. Another problem that I had in the beginning was understanding exactly what was being said at times. Many characters used jargon and slangs that were difficult for me to follow. That added with the accents made it a chore to follow, but once the movie started rolling along, it became much easier to understand exactly what was going on.
This is a very over-the-top film and is definitely meant to be that way. There were so many groups of criminals all fighting over the same thing that it was comedic and interesting at the same time.
The placement of the guns as an object to fight over is nicely done as well. Nobody really knows what the deal is with them throughout all the madness and it is cool to see another object used that way other than just money.
I liked the ending a lot too. The final scene when the audience gets to draw it's own conclusion to whether the heroes saved the guns or not was a nice way to close the film.
This is a really cool movie of this genre and will leave you satisfied at the end. It was very well done.
