Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels


After a real long gap, I finally watched a movie full of entertainment. There were a lot of talks regarding this movie among my circle which made me more curious to see it. The movie is directed by Guy Richhie and is based in England. It is basically a comedy drama in which four close and intimate friends named Eddie, Tom, Bacon and Soap get into big time trouble when they were forced into debt.



The four of them individually accumulate twenty five thousand cash each summing to one hundred thousand which they invest upon card game. Edie who happens to be a card magician is trusted to book a table in a local illegally run casino. The boss ‘Hatchet Harry’ tricks Edie on the table and thus entitles him to a loans of half a million pound. The side-kick of Hatchet Harry grants six days time to clear the debt. This is when the guys get into trouble. There is no way these guys could accumulate such huge cash and if they are not able to clear the debts, Harry’s men would take over Eddie’s dad’s bar, the character which is played by Sting.



So to get that huge amount of cash in order to save themselves from Hatchet Harry, they decide to rob a gang and the gang which turns out to be a savage, brutal and vicious looting and torturing other fellow businessmen. The businessmen of course includes drug dealer who have their own farm of marijuana in their apartment. In between the robbery, another vicious gang gets involved which is led by and afro named Rory. In the end, all the gang members are killed in the crossfire, the hitman who works for Hatchet gets away with a bag full of cash, the four of them also escape legal actions. The end is even funnier, when they all come to know the price of a pair of antique shot guns which Soap, Bacon and Eddie asks Tom to get rid of them by throwing them off of the bridge.
