A live-wire firecracker of a film, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" still ranks as Guy Ritchie's greatest contribution to the British crime genre.

The last 20min of this movie is probably the best ending to any movie I have ever seen. THis is hilarious, suspenseful, violently awesome, sick, twisted, smart creative, and everything else. The very last scene is absolutely the best way to ever end a movie, EVER! --Spoiler-- Wow! So the last scene lets you create your own ending. Building up to it my thoughts were; it would be epic if they didn't get the money or the guns and he throws them into the river, the other side of me wanted so bad for them to win and come out on top with money. And what does this movie do???? It lets me choose based on what mood I am in when I watch it. Such a great way to end this movie. A classic!

"Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels" by Yojimbo

When a cocky young poker hustler finds himself in debt with a local gangster he and his friends hatch a plan to steal the loot from a crew of shady criminals who live next door. Guy Ritchie's debut was very much a film of its time and as is usually the case with "zeitgeist" movies, it has dated surprisingly quickly. The cheeky cockney dialogue feels very forced and cliched by today's standards and the film as a whole looks rather cheap and crude. The gleeful irreverence brought to table by Ritchie's knowingly silly script saves the day however, and the story gets more and more entertaining as it gets less and less plausible. Definitely not to be taken seriously, it's a heist movie with its tongue stuck firmly in its cheek that although dated evokes a certain nostalgia for naivete of the …

Bacon (Jason Statham), Soap (Dexter Fletcher), Tom (Jason Flemyng), and Eddy (Nick Moran) put together £100,000 so that Eddy, a genius at cards, can use the money to pay the entree fee into one Harry "The Hatchet" Lonsdale's (P. H. Moriarty). Eddy looses and now owes half a million to Harry. A gang of thieves led Dog strategizes a heist on some marijuana growers supposedly loaded with cash and drugs. Tom acquires a pair of antique shotguns from an underground dealer, known as Nick "the Greek" (Stephen Marcus), who also strikes a deal with Rory Breaker. Rory Breaker (Vas Blackwood) realized that the drugs he was going to purchase were stolen.
Had a truckload of characters and plot was a bit confusing because of the figures popping-up back and forth. Soap’s character and …
