Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels-7.8/10

R-For F bombs 'n such, bit of violence, and may have been brief nudity.

This 1998 movie directed by RocknRolla's Guy Ritchie is somefin' to fink about. If you read my review for RocknRolla you can probably guess that this movie as well is... accented? Everyone has an accent in it basically. Anyways, also like RocknRolla this movie focuses on a group of criminals and there dealings with other criminals. It's an alright movie, with some nice humor. Something of interest you may want to know is that this is Jason Statham's (Transporter) first movie. Another character you'll recognize is Jason Flemyng, who appears with Statham in Transporter 2 as one of the scientists. Another movie you may just recongizr Flemyng from is League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, he plays Dr. Jeckyl. At any rate, this is basically a RocknRolla kind of storyline, The Bank Job kind of feel, with crazy weed sellers like in Pineapple Express. So there you have it.

  1. sounds cool, and since I liked RocknRolla, I'll give this a try. But this time, I'll probably start the film with the captions on.
