Plot Summary:
|
A brutally comic tale about a group of London friends who set aside themselves earnest in in financial difficulty to an East Finish tough, Jail, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS is fleet-paced, stylized, and warmly witty. In his debut perform film, the man-writer Bloke Ritchie weaves a tangled web of shady, blithely eccentric characters and discrete storylines, all of them coming together in a overjoyed explosion of massacre and mayhem. When streetwise seductress Eddy (Nick Moran), the son of steely shut up owner JD (Rip off), botches a gambling layout with his dad's nemesis, porn sovereign Hatch... et Harry (P.H. Moriarty), he's got one week to penetrate up with 500,000 pounds or he loses his fingers--and so do his friends Tom (Jason Flemyng), Bacon (Jason Statham), and Soap (Dexter Fletcher). While the pals ruse to make the ready money, Harry indulges his predilection for valuable objet d'art shot guns, stolen for him by a couple of inapt burglars. Soon the missing guns, a paranoid gang of marajuana growers, a no way-spirited debt collector (Vinnie Jones) and his young son, and a virulent bundle of thugs, are all thrown together in this closely-woven, genuinely funny story that takes its inspiration from old British comic bandit flicks like THE Union OF GENTLEMEN and more late-model films RESERVOIR DOGS and THE Regular SUSPECTS.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Cockney crime caper that sees four likely-lads running fowl of hit man Vinnie Jones. A brash, brutal Brit-flick, ripe with hip, slang-rich banter, super-stylised snap-focus trickery, and a deliriously twisted plot that literally leaves you hanging
When it first came out, this was rapturously received by critics as a British gangster flick to rival Tarantino, although director Ritchie claimed it owed far more to The Long Good Friday. It's got the wit of Tarantino, but avoids his violent excesses and works more towards the miserablist sensibilities of a London soap opera.
There are a thousand plot twists, but the story is that a group of tyro crooks owe money they don't have to a pornographer, but when they hear their next door neighbours planning a rai...
Superb Story Line/plot
Do not make a cup of tea, go to the toilet, answer the phone or doorbell during this rivetting movie. The storline is exceptionally good but you daren't miss a minute as there is so much going on, you may lose the plot! Terrific convincing performances by Vinny Jones and a debut performance by Lenny 'The Governor' McClean. Top Stuff.
