"Two Smoking Guns" is a dark comedy film written and directed by Guy Ritchie. Seeing the title of this movie would be unappealing to most people, but these two big smoking guns really do run through the film's climax.
The protagonists of the film are four people with different social identities, but they all belong to the bottom of society. The four of them gathered 100,000 pounds to gamble, and they were going to make a lot of money by gambling, but in fact, this was a game that had already been set up. Huge sums of money, which need to be repaid within a week, have embarked on the road to repayment of debts. This is an introduction to the beginning of the story.
Guy puts out several seemingly unrelated things in a montage technique. At first, the audience may feel very nonsensical and see the clouds and fog, but patiently watching the climax of the story will find these seemingly unrelated things. The story of the film is intertwined like a thread, reaching the peak of the story. In this process, the director also uses a lot of British humor, which makes people smile. When all the coincidences come together at the end, the brilliance of the movie is fully reflected.
Some viewers may think this movie is a bit like Quentin's Pulp Fiction, but it's not. The film Pulp Fiction uses a ring structure, while the film Two Smoking Guns is performed in parallel first and then narrated in sequence. In addition to the dark humor, the similarities between the two movies are that the first part of the movie is a bit cloudy.
Overall, the film can be said to be made up of coincidences. It is one of the few films that uses narrative method. The characters in the movie are very reasonable, there is no excess, and it cannot be missing.
Those who like dark humor and alternative narratives can go and see it.
