Four likely lads get in over their loafs to the local kingpin babbling brook when they spy easy wonga to be made from a bit of a naomi on the ol' bladders. And would you adam and eve it, the john is fixed, the ken loaded, so now they're in loads of barney as they've only got a bubble to produce the sausage or face an unscheduled meeting and end up brown. It's a tufnell right from the scapa!

that final scene was more stressful than both the spongebob episode with the bus at night and the spongebob episode where they had to paint krabs' house combined

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!

Before Snatch, Guy Ritchie made Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels first. Both films follows the same formula and style (heist premise, criss-crossing storylines, overabundant characters, smash cut editing, witty British lines) - and it is absolute madness. If I had to choose though, I pretty much prefer this one because it's funnier, smart, less confusing, and way more fun.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is fucking clever from start to finish. Guy Ritchie develops these seperate characters and their storylines, then masterfully intertwines them together to form a highly entertaining crime craper full of ironic twists. The assortment of eccentric and colourful characters were all fun to watch.

The film also never loses its wicked sense of humor. The witty British banters being sprinkled throughout were delightful to the ears. The ending is also unforgettable.

Yeah, this is now one of my favorite comedy films.

This is the film that literally changed my life. Before I saw it, I was a causal movie-watcher, mostly interested in romantic comedies and animated Disney classics. Then I saw this about six years ago and it blew my mind to smithereens. Since then, I've been chasing the original high this film gave me, and unlike with drugs, I've been able to achieve that high again and then some. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels never ceases to entertain me with the hilarious and meaningless dialogue, the ridiculous plot, and the bizarre stylistic choices of Guy Ritchie. I absolutely adore it, and even though I've just re-watched it, I want to watch it again!

It's quite funny, fairly clever and so cool, but it's also not even nearly as funny, as clever or as cool as it thinks it is. The pacing also was uneven, and the second act dragged due to monotonous dialogue that made me miss the overstylized yet energetic first act. the film also has subplots that didn't add up, and supporting characters which I didn't care about even a tad bit. But it really picked back up till it reached its third act which is simply fantastic. And the cliffhanger ending is one of the best I've seen in a long time. Plus, The soundtrack is fire!

(7/10)

There aren’t many films that I have watched as much as this. It takes you down 3 different stories, which are all different and keep you gripped no matter how many times you watch it. 
The cast is fantastic, all of the actors have moved on to bigger things. 
The soundtrack gets me every time. When you hear The Stone Roses kick in at the end, just makes it even more special. 
Guy Ritchie is one of those directors that makes amazing films but has rubbish ones like King Arthur but after seeing The Gentlemen 3 times, I think he is back and hopefully stays to his roots.

Has some very funny, gripping and entertaining points and for the most part was a very good movie. It did trial of fun the middle as the narratives became messy and dragged on a bit. Overall it is a good time, and has a very interesting color palette.

6/10
Between a 6 and a 7. This gets pretty interesting near the end when confrontations start to happen, but the rest is something I only find mildly enjoyable. The formal tricks are cool but not much else and a lot of this just feels pretty devoid of energy. Like, it's never boring or bad in the slightest, so I would still say I like this overall, but I'm reacting pretty mildly and apathetically to the whole thing. It's cool though, I don't know.

Vinnie Jones getting into his AC cobra with his leather coat on while Fools Gold is playing is still one of the coolest things I've seen in a film.

It’s a shame Guy Ritchie tragically died after making only this movie and Snatch and nothing else ever

Answer the fucking phone man!

I'll be honest, everyone in this movie looked exactly the same to me and I couldn't tell who was who and what the hell was going on. still had tons of fun though so I think that means it was pretty good

As a predecessor of Snatch, this film has a blue print for trademark of Guy Ritchie films, that might influenced from Pulp Fiction. This classic one is slower in the first half than the new one, but after that we can connected all the character and from here the exciting part just begun.

Yes, Snatch, The Gentleman, and even RocknRolla is more acceptable for our eyes, but as the first film it is not that bad.

Ocean’s 11 if it looked like dog shit!

one of the best comedy movie ive watched

I can’t get over how the main four guys look like the British version of the impractical jokers lmao

Bloody brilliant innit?

Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is a fun action / crime movie about four top lads who get in way over their head when a porn king cheats them out of 500,000 pounds. 

The cast of characters varies in talent and likability, but I find the four lads, Chris and Dog to be all wonderful, some in a extremely cruel and sadistic way. It’s also crazy to see such a reserved Jason Statham in action. 

The movie’s plot feels like a ribbon, folded and manipulated in ways that seem confusing and unnecessary, but tie into a perfect bow at the end. 

I had to turn the subtitles on because I couldn’t make heads or tails of what anyone was saying half the time. God save the Queen, eh?

Le film est en quelque sorte avant gardiste sur le syndrome années 2000 avec une photographie deg maronnasse, mais d’ailleurs c’est un peu la même sur snatch je trouve ça vraiment désagréable à l’œil mdr
Mais sinon c’est vraiment amusant, entraînant et subtilement amené pour entremêler tous ces groupes de gens, j’aime bcp (le montage est super aussi)

Pure cinema hooked from start to finish

TOO MANY CHARACTERS

Guy Ritchie heeft wat ups en down maar dit is toch 1 van de ups.

De stijl is heel leuk. Ritchie speelt mooi met beeld en camera en dat maakt de film ook wel. Ook het absurdisme in de actiescenes is echt wel leuk net als de dialogen. En ook de cast doet het goed.

Alleen heb ik met deze film elke keer hetzelfde probleem. Veel te veel personages. En dat worden er op den duur zo veel dat de plot er een beetje in verdrinkt en het allemaal wat te complex wordt.

Ritchie levert stilistisch topwerk met een plot die ietwat te veel personages heeft. Haal er daar wat uit en dit was een betere film geweest.
