Really a great set of twin gangster movies!! Unlike American shoot'em ups, these two have more gangster attitudes and darkness to them than blood and gore! By watching both movies it is obvious that they were directed by the same Guy Ritchie which uses a similar style for both movies but with their own uniqueness.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels: More of a gangster movie than Snatch and there were more spectacular camera shots that caught my eye, such as the extreme close ups on the pupils of the eye and their contraction as a way of emphasizing the responses and thoughts of the characters. The plot tends to get more and more complicated as the movie progresses and then an unexpected ending that ends the whole movie and sort of leaves the viewer in a clif hanger ending. This movie has more of a comedic sense than Snatch, but that doesn't really affect it's overall seriousness in being a gangster moive.
Snatch: Again similar to Lock, Stock but with bigger actors and the same core principle that one item gets several individuals that would never meet under normal circumstances together and matters really get complicated. There are fewer comedic scenes and also has great narration during the moive.There is more depth to the characters in this movie and you feel more familiar to them than in Lock, Stock. This also gets you more on the edge of your seat till the end of the movie.. The character 'Brick Top' is quite unique... This movie also ends with an uncertain ending as a solution to the plot that continually thickens during the whole movie!
Overall, if you're tired of the regular American bang bang they're dead movies.. these two movies are for you! Get these movies and you won't regret it!
