I've heard that some people aren't seeing this movie because it is a product of Mel Gibson. I understand because I've never really cared for Mel Gibson's work either, but oddly enough this turned out to be one of my favorite movies. It's spoken in another language which just adds to the realism. And you really begin to cheer for the main character as he makes it through obstacle after obstacle. The scenery is also gorgeous. pretty violent though so probably nobody under 13-14. this is a must see!!!
What's great about it: incredible acting, heart pounding action
Guy Ritchie's rough-and-tumble action comedy gets a sharp presentation in this DVD release. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels has been given a letterboxed transfer at the aspect ratio of 1.85:1; the transfer has also been enhanced for anamorphic playback on widescreen monitors. The audio, in English, has been mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, with optional subtitles in French and Spanish. The disc also includes a short documentary on the production of the film, theatrical trailers from the American and British released of the film, biographies of key members of the cast and crew, and a dictionary of cockney slang for those puzzled by some of the dialogue.

I wasn't really sure what to think of this movie. Yes, I liked it, I actually liked it a lot. But it's very different. This is one of those movies that is basically made up entirely of the screenplay. There is some action but don't go expecting an action movie. I do recommend it but what you think of it is entirely up to you.

I was so impressed with this movie. It has some of the most riveting action sequences I've ever seen. All great actors and the story keeps your eyes glued to the screen. I highly recommend this one.
Ridley Scott directs the gripping war film Black Hawk Down. Columbia's work on this 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is nothing short of perfect. Sporting solid black levels, even colors, and no defects or imperfections, fans should be very pleased with this Academy Award-winning film's transfer. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English, as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in French. The 5.1 mix ends up being an assault on the viewer's senses; featuring hard-hitting directional effects and crystal-clear sound, this is an excellent soundtrack that should give home theaters a hefty workout. Also included on this disc are subtitles in English, French, Chinese, and Thai. Unfortunately, the supplements on this disc are close to the bare minimum, including a short on-the-set featurette that runs about 20 minutes and gives little insight into the making of the film, a few filmographies on the cast and crew, and theatrical trailers for the movies Spider-Man and The One (yet curiously nothing for Black Hawk Down).

this is one of my favorite movies not to mention probably the best war movie out there. they set the story up for about 25 minutes then the fighting doesn't stop. although kids 13 and under probably shouldn't watch it. It's pretty realistic.

As an action movie it was ok. But i didn't like how he really didn't care about anyone but himself, and he didn't care who he harmed. like running through a hospital punching and tripping innocent people along the way. I actually wanted him to die.

the first time i watched this movie i wasn't real impressed. I didn't even really laugh. maybe because i was expecting something a little different. then I watched it again and i was laughing all the way through. it's a hilarious movie with an interesting plot. I would definately recommend it.
Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is an impressive visual spectacle. Director Zack Snyder Star Gerard Butler, Tom Wisdom, Andrew Pleavin, Vincent Regan, Lena Headey, David Wenham, Special Features Widescreen Audio Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround - English, French, Spanish Subtitles - English, French, Spanish Additional Material Audio Commentary - Zack Snyder - Director; Kurt - Writer; Larry Fong - Director of Photography Trailer Runtime 116 minutes Year of 2007.
