It's been emotional ... (Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels)

Advantages: Cracking plot, actors and brillian direction by Ritchie
Disadvantages: Nothing at all for me

...~~~Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels~~~ Released in 1998, 'Lock Stock' is a British crime thriller written and directed by Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Sherlock Holmes). ~Synopsis: Cardsharp Eddie and his three mate scramble together to find the stakes for an exclusive and underground card game opposite Hatchet Harry an gangland porn lord.

Its a deal, Its a steal ... (Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels cd)

Advantages: Fantastic songs, very diverse and great dialogue clips

...~~~Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels Soundtrack~~~ If you have seen the film and enjoyed it, I think you will definitely love the soundtrack.
