Part 2/8:
Guy Ritchie's debut film, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, became a game changer for British cinema. Made on a modest budget of $1.35 million, the film grossed over $28 million and earned Ritchie acclaim as a cinematic innovator. Hollywood soon courted him, eager to replicate his success. Rather than diving into the Hollywood machine, Ritchie opted to craft another enthralling ensemble-driven crime film, much like his debut.
Engagingly chaotic and filled with memorable characters, Snatch served as a spiritual successor to Lock Stock, boasting a bigger budget and higher aspirations that included star power and engaging storylines.
