By what we read on the synopsis, I was expecting something more dark and serious and not something so brilliantly funny and entertaining! Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is the perfect blend of crime and humour. I think every single performance was great, the characters are extremely funny and despite the fact that they are all a bunch of criminals and swindlers they are all very likable. Visually different, with a great camerawork. The dialogues are excellent, the plot is amazing and the ending is absolutely fantastic, it couldn't be a better end for this story! Guy Ritchie did a terrific job directing this film! And it's a gangsters flick! How could I not like a good gangsters flick!? If you are like me and you did not watch this until now, you don't know what you are missing. Please, watch this right now!

Incredibly funny and entertaining story of four young "criminals" out for big money. This is one of the most intelligently written stories I've ever seen. If you like to write screenplays, let this one take you for a spin. Very fast paced film with great editing techniques and a hilarious cast and storyline thats sure to entertain. Great cinematography as well. This story will send you through a cork screw.

Yeah, this is an awesome movie. Definitely one of the best of the nineties. The story revolves around 8 groups of criminals that all are somehow connected to each other. All of them are all involved in either revenge, drugs, money or guns and they use a lot of violence to get to the point they wanna go. This movie is also incredible funny, anyone remembered that scene where the gang that robbed the marijuana growers was about to ambush the gang that stole their money from them but instead of those guys showing up the gang the marijuana belonged to showed up? With that Greek music that was playing in the background? I couldn't stop laughing the first time i saw that scene. With this movie Guy Ritchie showed that he had some real talent. And 2 years later he showed everyone that is wasn't a one-time fluke with Snatch. This movie is also responsible for launching the career of some of the people who worked on it, namely Guy Ritchie, Vinnie Jones and off course Jason Statham.

The very entertaining ending makes this film.

I wasn't sure about 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' up until that point. Like, don't get me wrong, it is a good film from the get-go but I wasn't personally convinced by it to be more than that until the credits rolled - at which point, More

Far from being a good movie, with tons of flaws but already pointing to the pattern of the whole Ritchie's filmography.

Genuinely one of my favorite movies of all time. Watched again recently and realised how well written, brilliantly shot, beautifully cast and cleverly produced this movie actually is!
