Hilarious, violent, with a great soundtrack
|
I enjoy British humor much more than American. "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" had me laughing all the day through. Probably my favorite bit was the scene with the traffic cop--having dealt with Campus Parking police one too many times, this was just too good.
I won't belabor the plot--four Cockney lads get into trouble when they think they can win a high-stakes card game and turn out to be 'out-sharked' when the game is rigged. Harry, who is not to be messed with, lends them the half a million to get them out of the spot they're in, but they've got to pay it back--in a week, or Harry is going to forfeit body parts from each of them. So--they get involved deeper in crime and drugs and introduce us to a cast of characters from London's seedy underbelly that are both fascinating and frightening at the same time.
I avoided this film because of the "Pulp Fiction" comparisons, but "Lock" was much easier to watch and for me, much more entertaining. I'll probably go find "Snatch" just to see if I like it near as well.
I also loved the soundtrack, which I am adding to my Wish List right after this review is complete. The sounds are eclectic and just right on for the scenes they take place in. Very few movie soundtracks hit the spot quite as well. |
