Representation of London through 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' (1998)

   

  'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' (1998) is Guy Ritchie's movie which was released more than a decade ago but many things covered in this film are still relevant today. It is a crime thriller which represents very real situations and experiences of certain people in London city in a very comic way. This movie contains variety of characters that are very different in many ways but all very interesting and charming. It may look that it represents mainly the dark side of London but it is made in such a nice comic way that the audiences rather sympathies with those cruel criminal characters than hate them. The movie touches the issues such as gambling, drug dealing, violence and illegal businesses but at the same time follows the story of good friends who proves that they are ready for anything in order to protect each other. 
   Many scenes represent the daily habits of many Londoners like spending lots of time in the pub, trying their luck in the card games. It is very entertaining movie that shows the funny side of the real crimes and illegal activities in London city.
