Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

...det som är nyckeln till att Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels faktiskt blev, och fortfarande är, en sådan fantastisk film är det tempo, den livsglädje och den uppkäftiga attityd som präglar samtliga 106 minuter.

Of all the recent attempts to put a Tarantinoid spin on the British gangster movie, this is the freshest and most successful.

I also liked the movie's sense of fun. The soundtrack uses a lot of rock music and narration to flaunt its attitude, it keeps most of the violence off-screen, and it's not above throwaway gags.

It's a superior thriller made with the guts and gusto that too many recycled entries into the genre fail to exhibit.

This larky, self-aware crime picture has Tarantino-esque written all over it. But in this case that's not a bad thing...
