Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

"Lock, Stock is fun, in a slapdash way; it has an exuberance, and in a time when movies follow formulas like zombies, it's alive."

"You're bound to get a chuckle, but don't expect too much."

"Even if flashy Ritchie's tall tale... starts to run out of steam, the punch line is so good that it makes up for a lot."

"We've heard it all before, and usually with a slightly more comprehensible accent."

"Lock, Stock aspires to be something like the Beatles meet the Wild Bunch. Too bad it doesn't have even a rubber soul."

"Irreverent, violent and wickedly clever."

"Ritchie keeps the action percolating and the humor on high."

"Expect plenty of laughs and some edge-of-your-seat sweats, but not a whole lot else."
