Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels is Tarantino, London style. This fast-paced, hugely entertaining comedy thriller bulges with colourful characters who speak with even more colourful accents.
One of the great strengths of the film is its ruthless mixture of suspense and humour - it`s a winner in both departments. And the fact that the cast is made up of new faces gives it a complete freshness, though British audiences, especially, will recognise football star Vinnie Jones, who plays a tough enforcer who, touchingly, always takes his young son to work with him.
Visually it`s a little rough at the edges, but that`s only because of its very low budget.
