Humorous, Intelligent Entertainer

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2005)

It still amazes me!!! How could such an intricately interwoven plot be... 1) Written ... 2) Shown on screen with such brilliant aptitude. This movie is an ode to writer - director Guy Ritchie. HE IS CLEVER, REALLY CLEVER!!! The inter-threading of different scenes in a movie was something never seen before Lock Stock... The scene in the first half where a burning man comes out of the Samoan Bar and Tom, Soap & Bacon just look at him and go in as if nothing new has happened is damn hilarious!!! However, its only in the second half, when you come to realize how that man was burnt (..by Rory..), and that is the inter-threading I'm talking about....THAT IS BRILLIANT!!! This is also one of those rare movies where you tend to fall in love with almost every character, no matter how big or small his role is. But if I had to pick my favourite characters from the movie, they would be Barry the Baptist, Big Chris, Soap and Rory. And its also filled with these humorous dialogues spoken in that endearing cockney accent!!! All in all, it's a humorous, intelligent entertainer, this one!!!
