You Won't Adam Your Mince!

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2002)

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" was the first major movie directed by Guy Ritchie. It has many elements that it shares with "Snatch": a cool rock soundtrack, a complicated crime plot, colorful criminal characters, music video-style cinematography, and bloody violence played for laughs. I enjoyed this movie of treacherous West Enders a lot. The funniest scene was when Rory set the drunk on fire, and there were little subtitles to little sub-titles to translate the Cockney slang (although the whole movie could have done with sub-titles!). Guy Ritchie has proven himself a kingpin in British movies, and leaves us waiting in anticipation to "have a butcher's" at his next feature.
