Snatch (2001)

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Guy Ritchie is known more for his romance and marriage to Madonna but he is a very talented filmmaker and snatch is a prove of this. This dark comedy/crime caper is an absolute laugh riot with some amazing dialogues that will have you rolling and characters you will remember for months. Rooted in the London Underworld Snatch is about a stolen diamond and believe it or not- boxing. How these two come together is for you to see and judge. Great performances, tidy flow and expert direction makes Snatch a must watch.

Obviously a Ritchie film this fast, rapidly edited crime caper is the perfect tonal mix of comedy and drama, the cast deliver great performances and the well crafted story comes to a fantastic head. Such a lively story 'Snatch' is a fantastic film

You've heard of the Star War fans who have seen the movie 100 times. Well, I'm a Snatch fan who has seen this movie, well not a hundred times, but close to it. To me, It is one of those rare films that you can watch over and over again. In fact, I'm probably going to watch it again tonight.If you got this far in the IMDb post you have seen the remarkable cast as well some of the characters they played. Bullet Tooth Tony, Boris the Blade, Turkish, Frankie Four Fingers and Brick Top. And then there is Mickie O'Neil to top it off. Without getting into any spoilers, just watch the movie.

Seen it multiple times now and I really think that "Snatch" tries too hard to be funny and cool. It is the british wannabe brother of Tarantino. It does make for an enjoyable watch though, but the style over content attitude becomes tideous at some point. Still it is funny at times. A lot of action, you wont get bored. And there is some good acting by Brad Pitt amongst others. A diamant gets stolen. And stolen again. And again. That's the story. Next to that there is another "storyline" in which Brad Pitt needs to go down in a boxingmatch in the 4th round to please some gangsta boss. But he wont go down. And he wont go down again. A lot of chases, threats and shootouts is what follows.The speed of "Snatch" is suited for kids wiht ADHD. The cussing is suited for whoever likes it. It looks like a trailer for a movie instead of being a movie itself because the speed of this thing is so fast that it becomes boring at times. As I said I have watched it multiple times already, so there is definitely something that is enticing, but there is something lacking also. Good B movie, for those who prefer style over content. And there is definitely a market for that. Me being one of those people, because sometimes I just like to see a mindnumbing action movie. When I watch it with that attitude in mind, "Snatch" is rather enjoyable...
