Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (1998).
And yes, haha, I know at least ONE user over here REALLY likes it as he partially based his username off one place in that movie, hint - a pub in it. Anyways...
What do we all think of this late 90s British black comedy crime thriller flick, debut of Guy Ritchie and also, quite possibly, the debut of future action star actor Jason Statham?

In my opinion, no masterpiece, but a good, solid flick and also, in my opinion, though he has made at least one (its sequel "Snatch" (2000) included) movie as good as it, its Guy Ritchie's best film, and 7/10 I give it overall.
One MINOR question if its alright. SPOILERS - towards the end, Vinnie Jones confronts that aggressive gangster who took his son hostage in his car. My question was, how REALISTIC was his confrontation and later defeat of him. How was he SO certain in that moment, that when he sped the car up and later crashed it, his son and possibly him to an extent, wouldn't be killed on impact, and SPOILERS - only that gangster was affected, his son and him barely showed any signs of even minor injuries. Or even that during the speeding process the gangster himself wouldn't kill his son etc. Would it have been more plausible if say he confronted him in other means, like, maybe go to that place, maybe PRETEND he got his item, told him to let the son go and the kid would run away and then perhaps confront him, doing it with that car the way he did just seemed too RISKY. Anyone agree, thanks.
P.S. One of its actors, the one who gave that job to those Northerners, apparently sadly passed away in the same year 1998 as that film was released and from what I know he didn't even get to view its final cut.
P.S.S. About the ENDING. Yeah, it was a tribute to "The Italian Job" (1969) but I was wondering, what do you think ultimately happens, does that guy receive the call, does he throw away those weapons or retrieve them etc, anyone know, thanks.
