Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
Directed by Guy Ritchie
1998
United Kingdom
★ 5.2 editorial score
Guy Ritchie raised the money out of favors and cast a professional footballer who had never acted: four London friends owe half a million pounds by Friday, and five plots collide getting it.
“"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is a special weapon unto itself. Spring-loaded with cockney esprit, it peppers its audience with aggressive, sarcastic grapeshot. That's English for "fun," by the way. While this movie doesn't take itself seriously and takes the mickey out of violent movies, it's almost intimidating in the undertaking.”
