| Description: | Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash. | Comments: | A bunch of working class blokes attempt an implausibly complex heist to pay their gambling debts. Described as 'Tarantinoesque', "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" works very well as a fast-paced crime caper. Like a Tarantino film, multiple plot threads intertwine and finally reach a cataclysmic denouement at the end of the movie. The only complaint I had, as an American, is that the English accents were sometimes unintelligible to my ear. But that is a minor issue, and this movie is definitely worth a rental. | Languages: | English | Subtitles: | Length: | 207 | Video format: | DivX 3.11 Low Motion | Audio format: | MPEG Layer 3 (MP3) | Resolution: | 640x480 | Files sizes: | 697 |
