Young Eddie followed the old words of Harry, and lost 500,000 in gambling money. In order not to get their fingers chopped off for himself and his friends, they made a careful plan, pooled money to buy cheap guns, and prepared to steal the money from the neighbors' drug dealers. The creditor Harry asked his assistant to collect the debt while asking the stupid thief to help the boss get two antique guns. These two guns were mistakenly sold to Eddie by stupid thieves, that is to say, the rubbish guns that Eddie and the others didn't use were the favorites of their creditors, but they didn't know each other.
On the other hand, the neighbor drug dealers couldn't resist robbing their suppliers - the money for the drugs, but Eddie and the others took them all at once, and took advantage of the fishermen; of course, Eddie and the others were just happy. After one night, it was rushed over by the boss of an angry drug dealer and an even more angry supplier. When the two groups of people scrambled for the fight, they all died. Eddie and the others were saved from dying by celebrating in the bar.
Dead or not, but the money back to Harry was gone. Just when Eddie and the others were uneasy, the stupid thief was also pushed by Harry's assistant, and followed the underworld father and son who grabbed the gun all the way to Harry's den. At this point Harry was contentedly playing with the antique guns handed in by the underworld fathers and sons - yes, the underworld fathers and sons also worked for Harry. However, the stupid thief did not know that the old man with the gun in front of him was their employer, so he decided to grab it. In the chaos, the stupid thief shot and killed Harry and his assistant, and was shot dead by himself. Harry's assistant and the stupid thief recognized each other before they died, but they couldn't figure out what was going on. They shouted frantically, "Why are you TMD here!", and both hung up.
All kinds of coincidences, all kinds of ingenious designs, combined into such an absurd but wonderful story. Everyone has their own troubles, and they are doing their own thing. When they get together, they lead to chaos. The final outcome is also open-ended - Eddie's friend is standing on the bridge with a ringing mobile phone in his mouth, and two guns that are about to be lost in his hands. I don't know which will come first. .
Some lose, some win, but the last laugh is actually the screenwriter and director. In the two-hour film, Guy Ritchie, who is also a director and a screenwriter, played with logic and clues, and captured the recognition of countless audiences. He is the ultimate victor.
After watching Pulp Fiction, the sense of wonder at this type of film full of unexpected and Möbius effects has been reduced a lot. But Guy Ritchie is an awesome writer and director. There are so many characters with different personalities and different clues in the film, and Guy Ritchie can peel them off one by one, and finally weave them into a web. The lines of "Two Smoking Guns" are lighthearted and humorous. The structure of the story is rigorous and meticulous, without any clutter. In particular, the soundtrack is exquisite, which complements the trend of the story.
However, the development of the film's story is not without its side effects. When I watched it, I always felt that the development of the story was a bit deliberate, every step was calculated accurately, and the marks of the axe were slightly heavy. The problem is that people can't help but start to burn their brains, guess how it will develop, and then check whether it is consistent with the story - in fact, it is to jump out of the film and start a battle of wits with the director behind it. A movie will make some audiences substitute the director instead of a certain character in the movie, and then compete with the director. Whether this is good or bad, I still don’t quite understand.
However, this is not a flaw, and different audiences will have their own opinions on the film. In any case, Two Smoking Guns is an extremely good movie. It's so good, I don't think our screenwriters would be able to write such a script for years. A few days ago, I glanced at the TV, and when I saw Lu Chuan in "Let's Talk", he said that the "Nine-Layered Demon Pagoda" they filmed represented the nation, and how difficult it was, I was about to vomit. Thinking that our directors often talk about movies with disorganized narratives and cloudy plots, and the content is not full of emotions, I am really embarrassed for them.
Finally, I have to say that Jason Statham, known as "Guo Da Statham" in China, had a great sense of humor when he was young, which was completely inconsistent with his later painting style. Also, Nick Moran, played by Eddie, is a bit like Ronaldo!
