Summary: DVD extras information for Snatch:
Review: This movie comes with two discs, the second being the special feature disc. It is loaded with tons of special features and just as many easter eggs. Features include: "Making Snatch", storyboard comparisons, deleted scenes, video photo gallery, TV spots, theatrical trailers, direct link to "Snatch" website, and filmographies for many main characters. "Making Snatch" is a 24 minute featurette that includes behind the scenes interviews with some of the actors and staff. There are only five or six deleted scenes available, and they are not very entertaining...there is a feature on the first disc called "Stealing Stones" where you can watch the movie, and when the diamond pops up on the screen you can press enter to see where the deleted scene should have been.

One of the neatest things I saw was the video photo gallery; it has tons of behind the scenes photos. The TV spots are the previews that we saw on television before the movie came out in theatres; there are two of those.

Now for the easter eggs. The first is located on the second disc, first menu, go to the > arrow, and press up on the remote control, you should see an ! on the screen somewhere, press enter to see a short compilation of just about every time the characters say "****" during the movie.

For another easter egg, get to the second menu on the second disc. Find the < arrow and press up on your remote, you should see "1" somewhere on your screen, press enter, and watch a short compilation of some quotes from the movie.

The other easter eggs are on the second disc, in the filmographies section. Select an actor to see his filmography, use the up arrow on your remote to see if there is an easter egg for him... if there is, you should see a diamond appear on his picture. Press enter to see a short interview with Guy Ritchie on the selected actor. This only works on 2 or three of the actors, and it also works on Guy Ritchie's filmography, and he talks about the movie.

Review: this movie is amazing. it is seriously one of my all time favorite movies. I seriously suggest that you watch it with subtitles cause you can't understand a thing these people say half the time. Its a very good movie but you should probobly watch it several times so you get what happens. Also its got a great soundtrack.

Summary: SNATCH This One While You Can
Review: SNATCH, the latest film from Guy Ritchie's catalogue, continues the rollicking line of English gangster cinema spawned by the writer/director. Once again, Ritchie manages to tie up all the loose ends of a variety of capers into one, big, package of corruption set in London and centered on one fist-sized stolen diamond. Pulling from the same crowd of actors in his last hit Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, the director almost creates a sequel. The film is full of talent, from the writing to the acting to the fantastic dialogue and on down even to the music.

SNATCH stars some of today's biggest actors such as Benicio DelToro (TRAFFIC; THE USUAL SUSPECTS) and Brad Pitt (LEGENDS OF THE FALL; SE7EN; FIGHT CLUB) as tiny, yet extremely important characters. Rarely do you find such talent filling in supporting roles in foreign films. But, both DelToro and Pitt portray their characters beautifully.

Pitt plays Mickey, a fast-talking, tattoo-sporting, gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion who refuses to go down in a series of illegal boxing matches. DelToro stars as a Frankie Four Fingers, a Jewish gangster with some what of a gambling problem - he has debts he can't pay, so they give him the chop, hence the name. Cousin Avi (Dennis Farina) is another actor hailing from our hemisphere. Farina plays Frankie's cousin who hates England and hates the fact that he has to fly over there and get Frankie out of trouble.

But, though the semi-American supporting actors do give the movie that good bit of USA flavor, it is the English cast that really makes the flick. Turkish (Jason Statham) is a simple boxing promoter who is trying his hardest to avoid the crime lord of the illegal boxing world, Brick Top (Alan Ford). Brick Top is known for feeding those he doesn't like to the pigs. Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia) is trying to steal Frankie's diamond, but Frankie is off gambling on unlicensed boxing. Meanwhile, Cousin Avi hires Bullet-Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones - GONE IN 60 SECONDS) to locate Frankie. Well before long, the entire state of affairs is so tangled up Ritchie himself could only put it right by killing off half the people involved, shoving the diamond down the mouth of a stray dog, and burning a few trailers. Don't understand what I could possibly be talking about? Rent this movie, and you'll get the picture.

The only foreseeable problem I can envision with this flick is that you'll probably have to watch it a couple of times before you finally get the real jist of it. Like Lock, Stock... it is impossible to take it all in on the first run-through. So, I recommend you grab a beverage and a companion of your choice (be it man, woman, or beast), slip this cinematic masterpiece into your DVD/VCR, prop your feet up on the coffee table, and get ready to feel the adrenaline as this super-charged crime caper gets your heart going and reminds us insane Americans of our fanatical UK roots.

Summary: How could anyone not like this movie?
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite movies. The characters: Turkish, Mickey, Boris the Blade, Tommy, Cousin Avi, Bullet-Tooth Tony, Vinny, Sol, Tyrone, Errol, Brick Top, Rosie, and Frankie Four Fingers are all masterfully played by an ensemble of superb actors. The film is masterfully directed, hilarious in parts, and has several sequences and lines you'll find yourself remembering for days afterwards. The best characters are Mickey (Brad Pitt), Vinny (Robbie Gee), Brick Top (Alan Ford), Boris the Blade (Rade Serbedgia), and Cousin Avi (Dennis Farina). I thought "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" was a decent film, but this one is much better as director Guy Ritchie (the guy who married Madonna, which, looking at him, you'd never believe) had much more to work with this time around.

This flick is excellent. I heard it didn't do too well in the box office, which I find hard to believe since everyone seems to like it so much. I've seen it four times now and I finally bought the DVD so I'll be watching it again and again. I highly recommend it.

Summary: SNATCH one for yourself today!!!
Review: Snatch is one of the best films I've ever seen. Guy Ritchie's sophomore follow-up to his 1998 sleeper hit Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch revisits the previous film's territory of London's crime-ridden underbelly, and does so with the same brand of humor and stylish direction that made Ritchie's first effort a surprise success. With a labyrinthine plot that is ostensibly oriented around a missing diamond, Snatch introduces viewers to three groups of characters intent on retrieving the elusive stone, which has been stolen from an Antwerp jeweler. In the first group are friends and business partners Turkish (Jason Statham, who also supplies the film's voice-over narration) and Tommy (Stephen Graham), who join up with Mickey (Brad Pitt), an Irish gypsy and boxer. Turkish and Tommy make arrangements with Mickey to take a fall in a match engineered by lunatic gang leader Brick Top (Alan Ford). In another corner resides equally loony Russian gangster Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia), who has asked Jewish gangster Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) to place a bet on the match for him. Boris is also scheming to have Sol (Lennie James), the owner of a pawn shop, rob the place with a couple of dim associates. Meanwhile, Avi (Dennis Farina), freshly arrived in London from New York, hires Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) to find Franky when he goes missing; it seems that it was none other than Franky who was supposed to be transporting the purloined diamond to New York. Outrageously funny and full of edge-of-your-seat action, the movie is rated "R" for violence, profanity, nudity, drug references, and disturbing sequences. A must see hit for all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyed it a lot
Review: Snatch was reccomended to me by a good friend. I must admit being a little skeptical about a Guy Ritchie film since the dud "Swept Away." I was suprised by Snatch, because it's an awesome film.

Snatch is a bunch of stories within a big story. You've got a stolen diamond that no one can seem to hold on to, underground boxing, gangs, and what modern gangst tail wouldn't have the russian and some ex kgb. Snatch has it all and it's fun wathcing each story develop in the film.

Guy Ritchie wrote and directed this one and he has made some excellent characters. You gotta love Brad Pitt's characther Micky the gypsy barefisted boxing champions. Jason Statham is great as Turkish the boxing promoter who things just go bad for. There are a lot of other fun characters in the movie and that's where the driving part of the movie comes from.

Snatch is a great film. I liked it a lot and would reccomend it to just about everybody. Fans of British humor will really get a kick out of it, and so will Brad Pitt fans. He does a great job in the film. I own the film and I'm glad to say I do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHAT AN AWESOME MOVIE!!!
Review: This movie was incredibly cool. I watched it 2 times in one day I loved it so much. It is a great movie to watch if you liked lock stock & 2 smoking barrels. Jason Stratham & Brad Pitt make this movie rock. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GET TO THE STORE & PURCHASE THIS TITLE!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Messy
Review: 'Snatch' was a really messy film. The photography was sharp and clear, but the story looked like a combination of 'Fight Club' and 'Pulp Fiction'.
