Lock Stock and Two Smokin' Barrels is a definite must see. there are cute british boys in it and the cinematography is great and the plot is so twisted that you'll NEVER guess what happens. i definitly think everyone should see this, so much so that i am going to use that old move cliche`...RUN, dont walk, to your nearest theater and see this movie!!!!!! once again thank for listening to me ramble, lisa anne ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V4 #84 ************************************
