Lock Stock 2?

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2003)

Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels 2? Wouldn't really sound right would it? So what do you do? First of all you don't change the plot outline much (London gangsters in a pickle) but you do make a couple of slight cast alterations. Brad Pitt? Ah, why not he's a good looking guy after all. Only here, he is a gypsy boxer and puts in one of the best performances of his career. In my humble opinion Guy Ritchie is a fantastic director. His style is cool and dialogue hilarious. He is a cross between Tarantino (for the plots) and P.T. Anderson (for his knack of coaxing out great performances from less than great actors). So why did he do Swept Away?!
Personally I don't think snatch is as good as LOCK STOCK... but is lighter and funnier. ***1/2 out of *****
