Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

So, this is a British crime movie…made in…I don’t know when and I’m not looking it up, I would guess…mid 90’s?
It’s about this group of four guys…they think, an easy way to earn some quick cash would be to gather up a whole shitload of money…I think it was like 100,000 pounds…and bet it on a card game. I have no idea what the card game is, because I am socially disabled and have absolutely no knowledge of that kinda stuff :P
Anyway, all you need to know, it the game was rigged, surprise surprise, and he ended up owing the guy half a million pound. Yes, dumbass…
So this guy goes back to his friends, and has to let em know that they now owe this guy, Harry (I think), half a million pounds in a week. So, this is serious shit. These guys probably sit around thinking of ideas for like three days, before they overhear their neighbors talking about how they’re going to rob these guys that grow weed. So, they’re brilliant, fail proof plan, is to then turn around and rob their neighbors when they come home from their own robbery.
So, we have three different groups here…and the movie jumps back and forth between the three of them…the drug dealers, the neighbors, the original group of idiots…oh, and Harry and his little posse too…
So, this thing gets started and its just…incredibly confusing haha…everyone has crazy accents, there were so many different characters, as you can see, I don’t remember any of their names…except for one, I remember Soap, cause he was funny looking anddd really paranoid. So, this money is being stolen from people back and forth, all over the place, people are shot, people are killed, people run away, meet up, exchange words, then die again…ughh so much happens…and it wasn’t until I gave up trying to keep track of everything and just sat back and took it in as a whole that I actually really started to enjoy it. I’m not sure if that’s what I was supposed to get out of it…but that’s what I did, and it made me really enjoy it.
So…favourite character…well, two of them, another two whose name I remember! Big Chris and Little Chris. Big Chris, the father, worked for Harry and it was his job to collect the money from the original group of four. Little Chris is his son and was almost always with him throughout the movie…
I liked both of them from the beginning, the seemed like the cutest thing ever! Once again, I’m not sure I was supposed to find them both adorable, but I did.
Then, they totally kick ass in the end and drive away with all the cash and a red sports car (:
The more I let this movie marinate in my mind…the more I liked it.
I’m actually glad that I waited months after seeing the movie to actually type up what I had thought about it, because once I let my mind just go, and started to lose all the details that I was focusing on, the big picture just became a whole shitload funnier.
Oh, and I loved the ending :P
I thought it was really funny…although the guys get ripped off when my Chris actually doesn’t return on the money to them, they realize that the guns they just sent one of the guys to dump in the water because they’re evidence, are worth an enormous amount of money. Movie ends with the guy, hanging over the edge of the bridge, one hand on the rail, keeping him from falling, the other hand holding the guns, and his cell in his mouth…and his cell rings. His friends calling him to tell him no to drop the guns…dun dun dunnn :P
