One of the bests crime movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2009)

Actually a summary was going to be "A British version of Mean Streets" because I found this movie having many similarities with Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets and I think that Guy Ritchie was inspired by this film, but actually Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels has overcome Mean Streets (and I think nowadays it is also better know than Mean Streets). You never know what to expect from Guy Ritchie, this movie is half a black comedy and he's making fun of all of his characters, even the toughest ones, so it's a really entertaining movie. I also heard that Guy Ritchie was inspired bay Quentin Tarantino, but in Tarantino's movies the dialogs are more intellectual, in Guy Ritchie's movies the dialogs are more street-like. This movie is Guy Ritchie's feature film debut, but only for this film he deserves to be called one of the bests crime-movie directors ever.
