fookin hell wasnt expecting this many posts
i suppose it is down to personal preference.. where lockstock and snatch are funny films they just dont do it in the same sense that layer cake does for me...
both lockstock and snatch are very 'hardman' related with general brutalness that makes guy ritchie what he is
However i just prefer layer cake as it has IMO a better plot (if you can call it that ) it doesnt rely totally on violence to make the film great

Fav part of the movie for me is when they are in the cafe and morty beats fuck out of that guy while 'ordinarry world' is on
Cheers
