The groovy, pulsating music and lyrics are often succinctly synchronized with the action and dialogue in the film, creating a theatrical rhythm that is fairly uncommon in cinema (from any period). The soundtrack is first-rate, from the 60's hits of James Brown to the contemporary beats of London's underground.

While his secondary performance is solid, as usual, it is also unmemorable.

Sting appears briefly in several scenes as a bar-owning father figure. In fact, the only female in the film doesn't even speak, though she handles a machine gun fairly well. The cast is comprised of mostly young, veteran, male actors. The same applies to the laid-back college boys who 'grow copious amounts of ganja'. It's important to note that the four central characters (a cook, a card sharp, and a couple of guys who sell 'discounted' items) are interested only in acquiring the money to pay off their enormous debt they kill no one. The film is quite violent, both on and off screen, but it's also uniformly humorous throughout. While the picture's main focus is on a group of lads who invest money in a high-stakes, rigged card game and lose, the broader story concerns approximately eight different groups of criminals whose paths cross (more> than once, in some cases) during various illegal pursuits: money, guns, drugs, even revenge. Guy Ritchie's hip, highly stylized 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' is a truly remarkable film, not only for its appropriately pyrotechnic camera work, but also for its seemingly flawless, puzzle-perfect script/screenplay.
