Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
The movie follows a self-confident young card sharp who loses £500,000 to a powerful crime lord in a rigged game of three card brag. To pay off his debts, he and his friends set out to steal from a marijuana business, but the inevitable gunplay doesn't make for an easy heist.

Go see it if you're in the mood. You're bound to get a chuckle, but don't expect too much.

Even when the accents are as indecipherable as the plot, Ritchie keeps the action percolating and the humor on high.

What his other movies have done summarily or languidly, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels does with some clear novice stumbles. It's creative and very clever. It's just not a classic.

Though Ritchie isn't the most accomplished filmmaker, his artistic use of freeze-frames, slow motion and other camera trickery proves he is a precocious talent to be reckoned with in the future.

I was thoroughly entertained while I was watching it, and I haven't hated myself since. And that is something, though I don't know exactly what.

If only it could have resisted revelry in its own style and violence, it might have been one 1999's best films, due to its performances and clever plot twists.
