"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" (1998) is a movie that today should be considered as a genre classic. Its director Guy Ritchie soon was catapulted into stratosphere after the success of this film, and not without a reason. This is very involving film that had a unique vibe and style to it. Clearly the inspiration was Quentin Tarantino here, but Ritchie made his own stamp here. The story and storytelling here are the stars of the film. The way its told makes you glued to the screen. Very good and down to earth dialogs elevated this film. Again, inflections from "Pulp Fiction" are here, but done in a great way. Acting by many unknown at the time faces was very good. Overall, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is an excellently paced, edited, written and directed crime story. This one is a must see. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Audience Member Both as a writer and director, Guy Ritchie for sure delivers and gives you your money’s worth. While the camera quality/lighting gave me a little bit of a headache and while I like Snatch (2000) better, this was still a good movie. The twists, the double crosses, the multiple different groups converging on each other, the subtleties with the plot and what happens in and out of order, all were great! This is the kind of movie that Pulp Fiction inspired and while many movies copied that film within the decade after it came out, that’s something I’m grateful for since I get to enjoy even more great movies with this style, yet movies that still feel different and unique in some ways in their own. I liked a lot of the humor as well! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Martin V One of Guy Rirchie's early geniuses. A director I adore. Very intelligent film with excellent music. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. The music is so catchy and memorable in this. It's a funk and rock mixture. The editing and pacing are excellent. This is very much inspired by Pulp Fiction with 3-4 multiple storylines going on at once and all tie into a very satisfying ending. Sometimes it can be a bit hard to follow some stories more than others but again it just makes so much sense in the end. The initial setup of the boys pulling a heist to pay off the rigged game is simple. It's the events in between with other parties that makes it so intricate and how it all adds up in the end. Everything else is really good. The gold tint this has is odd and a bit distracting. Reminds me Heaven's Gate. This has a on location low budget look to it and is very well directed. The cast is very memorable overall. Some do blend in a bit more and there is a lot of characters in this. It's hard to keep track of all of them but as a group I do remember them. It never divides them up into solo stories to it's credit. And honestly a bit of it might just be culture ignorance my part. Everyone should give this a try once though. Even if you can't follow it at times because of how complex it gets you still know in general what's happening and the ending ties it all perfectly together.
