Quirky little crime caper

Guy Ritchies British classic Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels might appear low budget but its clever casting and hysterical antics make it fun to watch. After a card shark loses badly and owes a ruthless porn king $500 grand a... Full review

Lots of great one liners and funny moments, lots of action and great story. Guy Ritchie did a good job directing and also great acting (especially from Jason Statham who is one of my favorite actors).... Full review

"Lock" was a great movie and "Snatch" was even better. Both are A quality and both will have you jumping out of your seat with irony and laughter. Compared to other British humor such as "Monty Python" this is actually refreshing,... Full review

Just saw this movie again after a few years. I really liked it the first time, but this time around, I saw some items that I thought were unrealistic. This all stems from the card game. I don't know the game... Full review

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is very good. Not that funny, though but great action and twists. It's not as confusing as Satch, and it's better. Good movie.... Full review

This is a pretty violent movie, just not the way most major gore hounds would see it. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' is funny and entertaining, without a doubt. The film never really gets confusing though, like most attempts at this genre do. ... Full Review

To judge from his crime flicks, Ritchie seems to have gravitated to the underworld primarily because of some misbegotten and vague sense of cool. The violence is idiotic and brutal (the story is just idiotic), but it's also so noncommittal that it doesn't offend. ... Full Review

Ritchie is in top form again, the way we remember him most vividly, as the man who made Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, nearly ten years ago. The subject matter's old as the hills, but Ritchie's made it faster, funnier and more visceral than any other gangland drama in a long while. ... Full Review

The characters get saddled with the usual oh-so-clever dialogue ("Whiskey is the new vodka"), and there's a sequence introducing the latest trend in torture (it involves crayfish). Thinking back on watching these performers, I see them mostly as an arrangement of bewildered actors awaiting orders, as if Ritchie hasn't bothered to tell them what he needs them to do. ...

It'll be a good movie for HBO, where it can be aired repeatedly and you can amuse yourself by watching 15-minute chunks of it here and there. It's not nearly as clever, funny, or stylish as Snatch or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels , though the accents are a lot less indecipherable this time around, so that's nice. ... Full Review
