Similar in plot, writing, and characters to Snatch, one would think that this one would be great as well. as well as short moments of complexity and smartness.īefore the greatness that was Snatch, Guy Ritchie made Lock, Stock. I will suggest this as a good viewing for everyone who likes fast-paced romp with violence (any sort), gangsters, big money, drugs. Producers quickly changed billboards and posters to feature Lenny McLean as a tribute, even though Barry was only a supporting character. McLean died of brain and lung cancer on 28 July 1998, just before the film was released. McLean became ill during filming, but believed he was only suffering from a lingering case of the flu.
I should mention excellently played role of Barry "the Baptist" - played by Lenny McLean also known as "The Guv'nor" after becoming the country's top bare-knuckle fighter. I enjoyed Sting?s performance as JD, Eddy?s father, even if he was there thanks only to his wife Trudie Styler who was an executive producer on the film. I still think that RocknRolla was much better and not as cartoonish as this one, but many people will disagree with such an opinion. Witnessing an avalanche of unexpected events was fun with a team of uniquely likable characters and it was expectable that this film brought Guy Ritchie international acclaim and introduced actors Vinnie Jones, a former Wales international footballer, and Jason Statham, a former street merchant, to worldwide audiences. The story of a heist film involving a self-confident young card sharp who loses £500,000 to a powerful crime lord in a rigged game of three card brag wasn't too exciting at the start and when he and his friends decided to rob a small-time gang who happen to be operating of the flat next door in order to pay off his debts, the things started picking up. I like the work of Guy Ritchie as a director, and because I missed previously his Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, I decided to watch this British crime comedy thriller (written by him as well) and enjoy his recognizable style.
