An absolutely brilliant piece!

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2012)

If there ever was a brilliant film worth 11 points on a 10 point scale, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels surely was one. If you like that sort of stuff of course. Tongue-in-a-cheek, smart, comedy-action-crime story with brilliant script and great camera work. The characters are mostly all idiots, but they all have their charm. Or at least something. You can't help but wonder how you yourself would act in a situation like this - although surely, no viewer could be as stupid as the characters in the film. Well, stupid is probably a bit strong. Naive perhaps. In any case, the story is brilliantly told, you keep rooting for the good guys, and for ... ahem... some less good ones as well. The twists and turns keep you guessing and the tempo is high until the very (rather entertaining) end. It's a true classic, great to watch even years later! Highly recommended - just watch it!!
