An impressive second film, although very similar to Lock Stock, it's somewhat better.

Rating: 8/10 (11 September 2000)

This was an impressive second film from Guy Ritchie, although it's extremely similar to Lock Stock and two smoking barrels, even down to the different storylines inadvertantly affecting each other for the conclusions.
Some of the acting was weak, yet some of the casting choices were inspired, Mike Reid (Doug the head) and Alan Ford (Brick Top) were outstanding, and as for Boris the Blade, what an awesome character. The funniest storyline has to be the bungled attempt to rob the bookies, the three characters are just so funny. Unfortunately Vinnie Jones (Bullet Tooth) didn't seem to have a character as good as in Lock Stock, this guy seemed to flawed for his persona, and I found nothing likeable in the character of Turkish (Jason Statham), this would have had to have been the poorest performance.
Apart from that, it's a fantastic film, the script has been extremely well thought out and provided interesting twists that weren't expected. Better than Lock Stock, go see it.
