Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Maybe I was distracted, but I don't think Guy Ritchie quite has it. The heist and double-double-cross play out of this London underworld drama was clever. But even though I was also watching the olympics and futzing around on facebook, it seemed a bit pedantic. This film is trying to do what Slevin did do. The gritty style and nifty ending just said "I am trying really hard to be clever". Overall, a good movie to watch in the background, but nothing more.
2-stars
