Summary: Good Stuff.
Review: Black hummor dose not get much better than this. This is the best of its kind I have seen since Frago. Brad Pitt, Jason Stathman, Dennis Ferina, and Benico Del Toro(who just broke through with Traffic)all give this there very best.
However the movie is twisted and is not very easily offended.

Its one of those movies thats about bad guys destorying out of greed and fear. Its like a more complex and hummorus version of "Reseroir Dogs".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oops! I think I popped a blood vessel
Review: This was about one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen and the special features, don't get me started on the special features. I felt like I busted a gut! Hilarious! I think it's one of my most quoted movies. I don't know why, maybe it's because of "zee germans"! Watch the movie and you'll get it. And if you buy the DVD...goody gumdrops!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best. New. Movie. Period.
Review: To put this cinematic masterpiece into some perspective, let me first give a brief description of what I thought of it:

...you can quote me...

Okay, "holy hell, that was the funniest movie I've seen in at least five years."

easily one of the greatest movies I have seen, it's just plain funny in every way. I really don't need to say any more. Just this:

"well, it came from a funny angle!"
"Tyrone, when you back up, things come from BEHIND YOU!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best movies i've ever seen.
Review: Another great Guy Richie flick, one of the best and funniest movies ive ever seen with a great cast. If theres anything I did'nt like about it, it has to be Clark Collis' editorial review... i think anyone who enjoyed this movie would not hesitate to see another run like this and lock stock and two smoking barrels from Guy Richie... if you wanna benefit yourself and know you'll like it... it seems if that guy Clark gives it a wimpy review or denotes Guy Richie in any way, then you have to see it 'cause that person has no idea what he's talking about.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: extraordinary.. but not as good as lsatb
Review: it's an extraordinary movie. But not as good as Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. It's not the problem of style or characterization (Snatch's characteriaztion was actually better than LSATB), but just some flaws in storyline. Not really flaws, but the storyline not as good as the first one.
Still, an outstanding film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Call it brilliant. Call it flawless. Snatch it up tonight!
Review: Probably one of the most well designed, directed, and acted movies ever. The cast, most appearing in the likewise fantastic "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," was absolutely hilarious. The plot takes a couple of viewings to fully understand, but it goes something like this: An underground boxing world loses a prize fighter just before the high-stakes match is about to go down, and our heros must race to find a replacement before the mob takes the gambling losses out of their hides (literally).

This is a movie that will have you in the floor laughing until your head and gut ache. I've seen it a dozen times and still catch subtle jokes that I missed before. The plot is strong and relevant, the actors (mostly British) are naturally hilarious and entertaining to an unsuspecting American audience, the movie never has a dull moment. This is one that you will certainly want to buy, and only then could you possibly understand why I'm raving so.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wickedly violent....Wickedly FUNNY!
Review: Guy Ritchie's SNATCH has to be the wildest, meanest, blackest BLACK COMEDY since Madman Mundt(ex:BARTON FINK by Coen Bros)tried Apocalypse Now! attack on "life of the mind". Except that SNATCH...a LIFE of low-life British gangsters epic...is FUNNY.

If you view this wonderous work only once, you do it and yourself cosmic injustice. Half the time you won't even understand the marvelous "limey hick" accent of Brad Pitt the Irish "gypsy" bare-knuckle boxing champ. "D'ye lik dags?"(Do you like DOGS?)is existential question of the first metaphysical order... because a
junk-yard hund of expensive culinary tastes devours an 86 CARAT DIAMOND being vigorously pursued by the criminal demi-monde of England as well as hungry hood cousins from the American Mafia.

Vigorously; and VERY violently. Connoisseurs of violece can enjoy four brutal bare-knuckle blow-outs.(Brad Pitt as super-Mick, Mickey O'Neil practices TWO HIT bouts: He "hits" opponents...they hit the floor:all lights out). Vinnie Jones assumes Dostoyevskian depths as Bullet Tooth Tony;"enforcer" and hammer par excellance. He's a thug-of-steel who...among other wonders...is shot point-blank six times in the head; lives to kill-on; then dies when an errant ricochet...fired in anger at the previously mentioned dag/dog/hund by his boss Dennis Farina(CRIME STORY)plugs him somewhere in the someplace off-camera. Alan Ford essays the endearing roll of BRICK TOP FORD; promoter of rigged boxing matches and master sadist crime lord who literally feeds manque-gamblers; failed hit-men and other sad & sorry assortments of bottom feeders to his PRIZE COLLECTION of PIGS! (D'ye lik schweinhund?)

Ade,starring as Wheelman TYRONE, adds Limey-soul bro color to a three-man team of would-be Ghetto-blasters who think they can UPtown it by fencing the 86 carat gem. Our man Tyrone orchestrates one of the greatest car chases since "The French Connection" complete with a strategically heaved carton of chocolate milk that triggers an impossible, hysterical multiple collision and mucho more hood death. Is this stuff funny? It's...in my estimate...hilarious. Does it make sense? Try a PM combo of 3 Stooges(x 10);Road Runner; The unTOUCHABLES(Desilu Classic);Brian de Palma/Coens/Michelangelo Antonioni...with Madonna theme music... and you've got this GANGBUSTERS Deconstructionist messterpiece. No, it's not for all tastes. But for viewers fed-on and fed-up with Culture of Death pretensions to moral sensibility(kill infants; parole& parade killers from insane mothers to cannibals)SNATCH is funny as Hell!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very entertaining
Review: This is a very halarious movie. It's like three different stories that eventually come together. It takes place in the UK and stars Brad Pitt.
About this Movie,when jewel theif Franky Four Fingers takes a slight detour to London to delivering a huge stolen diamond(84 carat)to his boss in New York, he unwittenly sets off an avalanche of sinister and comic events that wind their way through the rough and tumble worlds of bare-knuckle boxing, Irish gypsies, pawn shops, pig farming, and... a stray dog.
Guy Ritchies brilliant follow up to his critically aclaimed "Lock, stock and two smoking barrels" exposes us to his hip and hetler-sketler view of Londons ganster underbelly.
You will learn that security doors can be opened from the outside, some doge eat toys whole, what nemises means, and how to get rid of a body. Enjoy

Rating: 5 stars

Dennis Farina and Vinnie Jones as part of the supporting cast.
An 86 karat diamond.
A squeaking dog.
.....all in a film caled SNATCH, by a director named Guy Ritchie. Need I say more??

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A maturation for Mr. Ritchie
Review: Following the wave of movies about underground gritty British gangsters/drug pushers that began with Trainspotting, Snatch seems to rise above the sludge of its subject matter. It bolsters a tight well-thought plot that (directorially and theamatically) snaps into place. The movie holds an endearing charm as we follow its vivacious characters around England. Bullet Tooth Tony almost steals the show from Brad Pitt as the quarky independant minded thug, but Pitt pulls the carpet away from Tony's feet with his beautiful ending.

All in all it seems as if the movie's director has spent years tightening up and editing his characters. Indeed we even feel as if we have seen these wonderful pranksters before. In reality that's not far off. Ritchie's first film Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels seems like, if not a preliminary version of Snatch, at least a prequel. Still, even though Snatch may not get an A+ in originallity, it did gain from the amount of work Ritchie has done in this area. His expertise make for a wonderfully fast and visually stimulating experience.

Best movie of the year? No, but it deffinately picks up an Adam Trimble "Best in Genre."
