Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

A classic tale of "chain reaction" where each activity leads to the other. Eddy and his gang comprising Bacon, Tom and Soap are out to make some big money by playing cards at Harry "The Hatchet"'s club. They get into trouble and owe Harry 500,000 pounds. Harry's mob comprising Barry, Chris are behind their life.

What they do to pay Harry off is one big chain reaction involving weed, shady money and this earns them a lot of enemies. One by one their enemies get eliminated in-spite of no effort from their side. In the end, they save their life and even earn a shot at earning a fortune. Whether they took the shot, is anyone's guess

Hits

• A super movie by Guy Ritchie involving money, drugs, crime etc. in typical British style. 
• All the Guy Ritchie elements like a groovy soundtrack, jerky camera movements, crazy characters (like Rory Breaker), funky names etc. are there in this too. 
• The ending is classic.
• All the actors have an equal part and it is the screenplay which is the 'king'

Comments

• The card game played, is quite incomprehensible and doesn't seem to be worth so much money. 

VERDICT
Complex yet casual. Never a dull moment and keeps us hooked throughout. A CLASSIC
