    “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” Movie Review

    “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” Plot Summary

    Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.

    entertaining

    For $8 million, this is a fricking monument of 1990’s film. The first time I saw it I laughed at most of the jokes and followed the plot with pleasure. That’s more than I can say about any number of movies in the 1990’s that cost ten times as much to make and starred pricey talent. The editing is clever and cute. The casting is just short of flawless. Of the four principles, only Bacon seemed consistent to me. The minor parts were sometimes spectacular, esp. Big & Little Chris and Barry the Baptist

    There are some legitimate complaints about this movie. The big one is that it doesn’t really go anywhere or mean anything. It seems like an awful lot of flash and talent to end up saying nothing about anything. But um it’s not like Lock, Stock is trying to be anything it isn’t, so maybe it’s not a valid critique after all. Considering how long Tarrantino’s influence has been around, it’s a little unfair to call Ritchie on imitating him. There are some similarities large casts, distinct characters, clever dialogue, rapid shifts in narratives from one string to another and shifting in time, and few other things. I think the problem is that years of dumbing down by Hollywood have almost eliminated all these things. The influence is there certainly, but it would not seem as pronounced if there were any other hugely exposed filmmakers in recent memory that put as much emphasis on dialogue and character besides Tarantino

    I haven’t watched MTV since the mid-1980’s, so the style of Lock Stock and Snatch didn’t seem trite to me. Some people I talked to said that the film style was too much like the average car commercial or pop video, which is getting the influence backwards, but I could see how those associations would spoil the experience.

    FAST PACED EXCITING MOVIE

    I went to see THE ITALIAN JOB with mixed reviews in my head. I was pleasantly surprised with an entertaining close to 2 hours. I thought the cast was just great and so were the special effects, with the safe and truck just dropping out of sight. If you like fast paced action movies, this is the one to see.

    Jet Li?s best Hollywood movie yet

    Yep, that including Cradle 2 the Grave… The fights in this movie are awesome, specially the Li vs Li one. Story-wise, the movie have a few plot-holes, but is a science-fiction movie as well so i thinks that is forgivable. I recommend The One for all the Jet-Li fans and the action movies fans as well. BTW the music rocks!

    A must see, really intelligent action here.

    Did see Crank. And I loved it. Fun, crazy, unexpected, twisted, action, sad, happy and totally weird. The story is so tight and adrenalin packed that it is a unbelievable sight indeed. I did sit in my couch with eyes peeled every minute. Have to say that I really did not believe I would get such a nice movie for the evening. Compared to many other action movies this one really stick out from the rest

    And Jason Statham did a fantastic role in Crank. I loved him in The Transporter and The Transporter 2.

    I highly recommend it. Though have in mind that it is some heavy action with some strong scenes in it.

    “War” Movie Review

    “War” Plot Summary

    An FBI Agent seeks vengeance on a mysterious assassin known as “Rogue” who murdered his partner.

    Good fun, good action

    Recap: FBI Agent Crawford and his partner Tom Lone happen to find themselves in the middle of a shootout between different factions of the Japanese mafia. Naturally they go in. Soon they find that one party is made up of the mysterious and feared assassin Rogue. It is only by Tom’s timely appearance that Crawford isn’t killed by Rogue. The yakuza, in revenge for Rogue kills Tom and his entire family. Since then Crawford has been on the hunt. Three years later Rogue appears again. But this time he has switched allegiance to the other faction. And suddenly Crawford and his agent find himself in the middle of a war

    Comments: Just about what you would expect of a movie with both Statham and Li in it. Not very subtle but full of action, shoot-outs, fighting, car chases and explosions. It is high paced and delivers scene after action packed scene. If that’s what you want, you won’t be disappointed

    Both Li and Statham are veterans in this kind of game and bring real solid performances. And I think Philip Atwell, who made his debut as full length movie director, did well too. He managed to keep the pace up and didn’t lose focus from the essential parts. There is a small element of surprise in there, but it is not given too much of attention, it just makes some interesting twists here and there.7/10

    This film is about a man (Statham) whose job is to deliver packages without asking any questions. Complications arise when he breaks those rules. add synopsis

    Awesome, ignore the bad reviews.

    I can’t understand why so much people hate this movie or the Transporter films, this movie is great ! Yes it often has it’s ‘Impossible scenes’ but what movie hasn’t ? Look to Die Hard, look to f(u)cking Indiana Jones look to Freakin’ James Bond… The action is fast it has good soundtracks (!) so if you get the chance to buy/rent this movie Do It

    I absolutely love the role of the Transporter he does it superbly. If you have the chance look the other ones too… they’re equally good

    For me this movie deserves at least an 8/10. Hence I’m giving it a 10 :)

    “Snatch.” Movie Review

    “Snatch” Plot Summary

    Unscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookmakers, a Russian gangster, incompetent amateur robbers, and supposedly Jewish jewelers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond.

    One Insane and Excellent Film

    I honestly never really cared of Guy Richie and had no intention of ever trying to see anything he did, I mean the guy’s married to Maddona

    Snatch is one of those rare movies that you can easily pick up and watch over and over again. Not since Pulp Fiction have I ever been able to watch a movie and laugh at the jokes Every time I watch it. Yes, for those of you who haven’t seen it, Snatch is very funny. Filled with very memorable characters, very creative direction and editing and top notch performances from everyone involved, Snatch is very easy to recommend and is a riot when watching it with friends (Who have very dark tastes.) Go and watch this movie today if possible 10 out of 10.

    A young man receives an emergency phone call on his cell phone from an older woman. The catch? The woman claims to have been kidnapped; and the kidnappers have targeted her husband and child next.

    this movie has the best pace of any movie i have ever seen.

    i was literally on the edge of my seat watching this movie. this was one of those days where i went to blockbuster and they just had nothing out that week. i saw cellular and i thought it could have some potential. i didn’t have high expectations, but it blew me away. the acting was pretty good, not great. but where this movie shines is its action and extremely fast pace. in one of the parts of the movie where he steals the porsche, i actually found myself on the very edge of my couch. this didn’t win any Oscars or anything, but its good thrilling entertainment. not a lot of people heard about it, but its had the same effect on everyone I’ve shown it to.

    “Transporter 3″ Movie Review

    “Transporter 3″ Plot Summary

    Frank Martin puts the driving gloves on to deliver Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official, from Marseilles to Odessa on the Black Sea. En route, he has to contend with thugs who want to intercept Valentina’s safe delivery and not let his personal feelings get in the way of his dangerous objective.

    Best out of all three of them

    Jason Statham returns in his signature role as fearless ex-mercenary Frank Martin (aka The Transporter), a specialist in moving precious cargo of all kinds with a cool style and attitude. I liked the previous Transporter films and this one is the best out of all of them not mainly because of the action but because this one had a better story-line than the first two. The story is about Frank Martin has been pressured into transporting Valentina (by using a device which prevents him from moving 75 feet from his car or the bomb explodes) the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for Ukraine, from Marseilles through Stuttgart and Budapest until he ends up in Odessa on the Black Sea. Along the way, with the help of Inspector Tarconi, Frank has to contend with the people who strong armed him to take the job, agents sent by Vasilev to intercept him, and the general non-cooperation of his passenger. Despite Valentina’s cynical disposition and Frank’s resistance to get involved, Frank and Valentina fall for each other, while escaping from one life-threatening situation after another. Statham again drives an armoured Audi S8 in the film

    Other than the story the movie was loaded with ultra cool action sequences and spectacular stunts that will keep you in the edge of your seat. I’m generally not really keen in action movies because they are all the same but Transporter 3 is different and I had a good time watching it. Overall it is a fun, popcorn action movie of the year.

    Mercenary Frank Martin, who specializes moving goods of all kinds, surfaces again this time in Miami, Florida when he’s implicated in the kidnapping of the young son of a powerful USA official. add synopsis

    Good fun and well worth watching

    It is unusual for a sequel to be better than the first film but this film is way better than the first one if action is what you like. It is very James Bond in places and the Martial Arts are really quite good. Throw in a little humour and there you have it, Transporter 2 This is a lads film, a night in with a few beers and some crisps ( chips if you are American and reading this ) or Peanuts. The girl villain is very good and could have been used a bit more as the main male villain lead was a bit weak. Jason Statham is proving himself a good lead for these type of action films and I am sure we will see more of him in similar films in the future.
