locked stocked and smoked

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2006)

Now I've seen just about everything. After watching Snatch last week I thought movies couldn't get any funnier than that. Well, I was most certainly wrong. They can, and Lock Stock Two Smoking Barrels has. The array of its dynamic scene proportion is just amazing. At first you can barely follow the storyline since there are so many characters present and so many plots, that keep getting more and more complex. But as the time passes, it all comes to logical disentanglement. Camera moves strictly according to the momentary state of the character in momentum.
Though actors were unfamiliar to me, they did their part one hundred percent flawlessly. Their lines are absolutely hilarious, yet clinging to the edge of tasteless swearing. However ending seems rather confusing, since audience doesn't get to see whether its happy or.... well a bit less happy. My judgement tells me this is a solid nine and I hope to see more movies in such genre in future.
