Lock Stock was a biggish hit, but I never really enjoyed it. The story was OK and it was directed reasonably well but the characters were not believable. There was a cartoon element to it all. To pick up on Scorsese he has all round strengths and one is making the people real.

Agree with this. I never really got on with it myself. Mind you it was the first time I ever saw Lenny "The Guv'nor "McLean on screen. What a frightening appearance .
Him and Vinnie Jones made a great couple don't you think?

It's a mystery to me why anyone would want to sit through this film more than once (especially when there's Sexy Beast and The Limey out there).

I so agree. Am I alone in thinking that Stormy Monday was much better than Lock Stock and 76 smoking barrels? Probably...
