Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

In 1998 Guy Ritchie wrote and directed his first feature film in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. LS&2SB stars Jason Statham in his first acting role, Sting (kinda), and many other faces who would later star in Guy Ritchie’s follow-up, Snatch. LS&2SB is a comedy crime story which focuses around a group of friends who lose their stake in a high stakes poker game and now owe big money to a big time criminal/porn kingpin. They need to find a pile of money fast and you’ll need to bring a compass and a notepad to follow along as this flick takes a lot of turns with a lot of characters.  LS&2SB was made for a budget of $1.35 million and brought in a staggering $28 million return and a lot of fanfare and critical accolades. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate confusing plots and the sweet release of getting beat to death with a dildo as we try to figure out if this one is the nuts or an all-out bluff.
