Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels

Like many thrillers, this film started off with extreme close-ups of a characters eyes. The characters are male and speak with low pitched voices. I have found that this creates a huge sense of mystery and intrigue as you can't possibly know who the character is.
Alot later on in the film, a man is shown being sick in an alleyway after having just lost a hugely important game of cards. A high angle shot is used, this creates a really good affect because it shows that the man could be feeling extremely small inside and by looking down on him we, as the audience, seem to have a better prospect than the character.
Alot of interesting shots are used. In one character's house, there are bars surrounding the door to prevent anyone from getting further inside the house. Whenever there are people inside the caged area, it immediately occurs to the audience that they are criminals. This is because the image looks as if they are in a prison cell.
