Highly complicated....but yet highly entertaining,enthralling and Impulsive..........one of the best of 90's

Rating: 9/10 (30 August 2010)

Guy Ritchie had a pathbreaking directorial debut with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ,the slick slomotion tecnique was first ever introduced by guy ritchie through all the death sequences,ritchie's manipulation of these sequences forces people to experience the intensity of the events by seeing every sequence frame by frame, something particularly apparent in the director's handling of the boxing-ring poker game that catalyses the story,the film is like a roller-coaster twist n turn experiences of action, fear,violence,conspiracy and dark comedy that is definitely worth seeing.credit should also be given to the film's grainy texture and amber lighting causing a fairly enthralling viewing experience.Acting has been superb overall,but the performances of jason statham and vinnie jones stands out though .Above all it is a superior thriller made with the guts and gusto that too many recycled entries into the genre fail to exhibit. According to me what other movies till then had done summarily or languidly, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels does with marvelling crystasl clear novice stumbles ,It's creative and very clever nd an instant trend setting classic.
