Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
Continue IMDB250 series, this It's also a movie I've seen. It's just that the movie was watched a bit early, and the plot is unclear.
The movie is about a series of gang rushes triggered by two guns. In order to make a fortune, the four street gangsters pooled together money to gamble on cards, but the most proficient player among the four lost 500,000. It turned out that the gambling game was designed by a boss, and the boss was still hiring someone to steal two master guns. In order to repay their gambling debts, the four gangsters learned from the poorly soundproofed wall that the neighbors of the drug dealer were going to grab money from the drug dealers. The four decided to rob them after the neighbours robbed drug dealers. A gun is needed to grab the money. One of the gangsters bought the master gun that the boss wanted to steal from the middleman, but was sold by two thieves. After the drug dealers acted, they took a lot of trouble to snatch the money and drugs. But as soon as he got home, he was ransacked by four gangsters. The four gangsters packed everything up and went out. At this time, the four drug buyers who had been contacted by the bullies found that he was buying his own drugs and was very angry. As a result, a group of drug buyers, neighbors of drug dealers, and the boss's money collector met together and started a big fight. The result was that the money collector took the money and the gun away and gave it to the boss. The boss was very happy and asked the four gangsters to come to see him. However, the subsequent gun thief killed the boss and the other person in the house, just because the gun thief needed the two guns. At this time, two of the four gangsters came to the big house and saw that everyone was dead, one took the money and left, and the other wanted to take a gun and stay. Subsequently, the neighbour of the drug dealer threatened the money collector for money and drugs, but the neighbour of the drug dealer was stunned by the money collector with a sudden brake and knocked out the three gangsters in another car. The money collector took the money from the car and returned to the big house. However, the cashier brother saw the bully who was holding the master's gun but did not load the bullets, and the two of them were frightened to drive away. In the end, the money was left by the money collector, but the gun was thrown into the river by a gangster.
This film is the same as Guy Ritchie's another movie "Stealing and Robbery" that I watched two days ago. It is also a gangster story and a group drama based on one thing. Therefore, the focus of this film is entertainment, allowing the audience to appreciate a farce facilitated by coincidence, without a deep theme, just let everyone relax. If you really want to say what it shows, you can only say that it tells the audience-the plan does not change fast, and coincidences always exist! Of course, such an extreme coincidence like this film, it is estimated that it will not happen once in hundreds of years, and it will appear in Guy Ritchie's film.
After watching this movie, it is obvious that you will compare it with "Snatch and Snatch". After comparison, you will find that this film is not as exciting as "Silence and Scam". First of all, the structure of "Stealing and Scamming" is more refined than the film. The switching of various scenes, the connection of dialogue, and the ins and outs of the story are all richer and smoother than the film. Secondly, the ups and downs of "Snatch, Robbery and Swindle" are more attractive than this film. For example, the setting at the end of the movie, "Stealing, Snatching, and Deception" is back to the original point, but the film is not rewarded. According to the idea of this kind of movie, usually the most humble gangsters tend to make a fortune at the end, which is not the case in this film. Also, "Stealing and Robbery" involves slightly more characters than this film, and the plots of the characters will be complicated and more attractive. In short, this film is much inferior to "Stealing, Robbery" in this respect. Third, the shooting skills of "Snatch and Scam" are much better than this film. The music, editing, angle of view, graphics and many other aspects of "Snatch and Swindle" are a hundred times better than this film, so I won't say much about it. In short, judging from the comparison of the two movies, "Two Smoking Guns" is better than "Stealing". But from another angle, Guy Ritchie's progress can be seen from the comparison of the two films, and the progress is obvious. In addition, although this film is not excellent in Guy Ritchie's films, it is still very unique compared to other films in the world. It is also an excellent film with a strong personal style.
Of course, this film still has a better place than "Stealing and Robbery", that is, the film's humorous dialogue. When I watched this movie, I finished it with a smile, because all the characters in the movie are stupid, stupid, and stylish. There are a lot of funny dialogues in the whole film. For example, when four gangsters are joking with each other, when one gangster finds that there is a power outage in this place and there is still a subway sound, he says "it is convenient to take the subway and the power supply is normal", which almost didn't make me happy. Died in the past. In addition, the state of the drug dealer's neighbor during the robbery, and the machine gun woman who suddenly woke up in a drowsy state are all the hilarious features of the movie. The most obvious outfit type is the black boss, it's so fun! Even the way he died pretended to be cool. In general, the jokes of this film are much denser than general gangster films and "Stealing", and most of them are linguistic, which is worth remembering.
I won’t say much about other aspects of the movie. The picture, rhythm, angle of view, camera, etc. all have Guy Ritchie's style, the same style as "Snatch and Snatch". The music of this film is also the same. Various British songs are interspersed in it, which not only allows us to feel the British sentiment, but also strongly contrasts the plot. In general, Guy Ritchie is a genius.
I won’t say much about the actors. Several of the main characters in the movie are real gangsters, and for them they are all authentic performances. Moreover, Jason Statham, a diving athlete, is famous for relying on this film. In addition, Sting's friendship cameo is very cool, I didn't expect him to be so cool!
Overall, this is a very good movie. The plot is bizarre, the characters are funny, and there are all kinds of coincidences. It is a 100% entertaining movie, but it is a bit worse than the "Stealing and Robbery" of the same model.
