@nepia I think it does realism and fun better than John Wick
Only if you discard the ending for realism, and then add the ending back in for fun.

Okay, so after watching so much absolute shite... I figured I'd try out this Nobody - and join the circle-jerk.
Yeah - that was fun.
I don't think I'm spoiling anything with the below...- The fact that they took what would have been the main action sequence in any other movie - and turned it into a short montage of "yeah, so that happened" - was sweet
- I actually found myself grinning like a 12-year old kid during that car-chase-ish scene... even if it wasn't as long/intricate as those in other movies. Maybe that was what made it sweet - short'n'sweet?
- My one quibble would have been the booby-traps and nonsense... so many of them were intricate pre-setup bullshit - which took just as much effort to trigger as actually... pulling a trigger.
- Oh - the music... I couldn't figure out if it was well-done or on-the-nose. I probably need to watch it again to pick up on each and every song, and how exactly the lyrics mirrored the sentiment/actions of the scene. It kinda seemed like how a teenager would soundtrack a movie - matching scenes with lyrics... but it also kinda worked spectacularly well, in most cases.
- Every time I see "Michael Ironside" in the opening credits, I'm poised - waiting to see what character is going to be played by Jeremy Irons.
4.5 jobs that Nobody did, out of 5 jobs that Somebody should have done, and Anybody could have. Or some faux-insightful bullshit like that.

It had more star power but it’s hard to top the original. Both brilliant I reckon. Loads of recycled actors too ( Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, guy who plays barman/bricktop, guy who plays one of the four card guys/Brads pikey mate etc ).
Rock n Rolla was cool but not in the league of these two.

Whenever I think of Lock Stock I think of this guy, one of the rare occasions when a bloke is much tougher in real life than he is in movies. Absolute animal.

What a legend. You don't want to mess with him!! All the characters in Lock Stock were great. I need to watch it again to remind myself of Guy's genius

Yeah, I found Vinnie Jones hard man stuff a bit of a put on compared to some of the others to be honest. But still, what a flick, loads of colourful characters ( just like Snatch which makes it hard to seperate them )

I found lock stock a little more stylised which I liked. Probably more the way it was shot and produced

No right or wrong answers I suppose but perhaps we sympathised a bit more with Ed, Soap, Bacon and Tom than Turkish and Tommy ? But then Brick top was a better baddie than Hatchet Harry ( more screen time helped )......as I said before Snatch had much better star power but LSATSB had so many quirky weird hard cases as well......fuck it, I still have to sit on the fence overall.
