Summary: Stylish Romp
Review: Snatch is a hip comedy/heist movie that, while lacking any "serious" themes, is simply irresistable. Guy Ritchie [brings] the viewer in with his edgy camerawork and disjointed storyline. All of the performers are excellent, and their thoroughly memorable characters really come to life. Even the "evil" thug boss Brick Top is a likeable character.It is an excellently crafted movie, and the sheer force and energy this movie conveys more than compensates for its lack of substance. Its the perfect movie for the intellectual who, jaded from seeing Requiem For A Dream, needs a light-hearted pick-me-up that doesn't insult your intelligence.

Summary: Strange and darkly fun movie. Watch it more than once.
Review: The first time I watched this movie, I turned it off after about twenty minutes. I just couldn't get into at all for some reason. I was laying on the couch with my girl (my ex- now), who fell asleep after about fifteen minutes, and, for some reason, I could not see where the appeal was in this movie. I really didn't think I would even bother trying to watch it again. Well, the next night my girl went home early, so me and my homeboy ordered a pizza and I decided just for the hell of it to pop in the movie. I started it back at the beginning and we sat there, seeing if we could not only comprehend, but enjoy the film. Well, I don't know what made the difference, but when the movie was finished, I sat there in awe at what I had just seen, which was what I perceived as one of the best films in the past decade of cinema. I may be overstating it a little, but there's just something really alluring here that I'm not sure how to describe. Unlike many viewers I've read here, I never once felt compelled to watch it with the sub-titles on, even if I didn't really understand some things. Instead, I was compelled to watch it over and over again to catch it all (I watched it twice in that first night and then again the next day). The story involves diamonds and underground bare-knuckle boxing and different gangs of underworld characters with seemingly-irrelevant sub plots that all intertwine into one single WEIRD-a$$ story. The brilliant ensemble cast really bring the material to life. Even in his surprisingly small role, Benicio del Toro as Frankie Four Fingers, the high-profile thief who steals the diamond and has it in a suitcase handcuffed to his wrist, turns in an amazing performance. But it is Brad Pitt who definitely steals the show though as "One Punch Mickey", an Irish Gypsy who becomes a pawn for two shady promoters who are in hock to a crime czar. Pitt is probably the most incomprehensible character in the entire movie. I mean, most of the time you really cannot understand a DAMN thing he is saying, but it makes it all the more fun. The ending of this film will definitely trip you out, and I encourage repeat viewings from everyone who watches this movie. Guy Ritchie is turning out to be a very interesting director who I'm going to have to keep my eye on and see how his other projects turn out. I haven't seen 'Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels' yet, and, from what I gather reading other reviews, it is very similar to 'Snatch'. I guess some people would view that as a good thing and some would view that as a bad thing. I guess I shouldn't form an opinion until I see it, but, any movie that is as smart, and well-executed as this one is sure to be a favorite of mine. I enjoyed this movie even more than I enjoyed 'Pulp Fiction' if you wanna know how good I think it is, and I'm also downright ashamed that I didn't feel it the first time around. So, to all new viewers, when you watch it, don't be too quick to judge, because it may take a little bit to pull you in. But once it does, you are in for a real treat.

Summary: Well assembled film and DVD edition
Review: Guy Ritche has a certain style common to his films. Yet "Snatch" succeeds where "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" could not. It is fast paced and very will executed. Each character is bigger than life, full of silly quirks and all are very funny. The DVD does not disappoint. Loaded with extras, including a very amusing detailing of Guy Ritche's system of "fining" the cast and crew for various infractions during filming. Cell phone going off during a take costs you so many pounds. Late for crew call...that'll cost you, and so on. Quite amusing. In every way, fans of this movie will love this disc.

Summary: bone chillin fun and action
Review: "Snatch" is one of the greatest movies of all time. Guy Ritchie is a genious and the crew he puts together is great. There are three different stories going on at once and that makes the movie great. Turkish and Tommy are great together and make the movie funny. I love all the different the different nationalities and the different accents of the people. Not being able to understand Mickey is awesome and has forced me to watch the movie over and over until I catch every little part. I have also noticed a goof up in the movie: during the beginning of the movie cousin Avi is talking about having a eighty-six caret diamond. Then at the end Tommy and Turkish announce they have an eighty-four caret diamond. Thats ok the movie still rocked.

Summary: Pretty fun, but too polished
Review: Guy Ritchie's sophomore project features a manic Gypsy, played by Brad Pitt, and not much else deserving interest. It's your general heist movie, with chases and gunfights and high-minded dialogue and crass one-liners. This is "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" with a Hollywood makeover. Like any heist movie, though, "Snatch" is an exercise in spontaneous fun. "Snatch" is a blast the first time around, but the next time, it's not even worth watching.

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: An interesting story full of unpredictable twists and surprises (you'll never know who's dead after a gun shot), and its dark humor is oh, so hilarious! The multiple stories developing at the same time keep you in suspense of how they will merge together. The brothers trying to survive in the underground, the pawnshop owner and his friends who are such a clumsy criminal, "pikey"s with incomprehensible accent...its unique, dark, quirky, yet likable characters make the movie memorable.

Summary: The Ultimate Movie
Review: This movie is a Guy Ritchie masterpiece that shows of hiw new age still of directing. He is the director to follow for the next few years to come.
This movie incorporates the lately popular still of movie making which is to have one main goal or plot, and then numerous sub plots and stories that all center around the main point in this case the diamond. This is a well done film and leaves nothing to be desired. The use of talent in this movie is also something that makes it what it is.
The action is non-stop and the transition between scene is something really to admire about this film. The movie always keeps you inticed to know whats going to happen next from beginning to end. The DVD sound quality is good enough to please anybody, even those audiophiles. The picture, visuals and cinematics are stunning and extremely pleasing.
The extras I cannot comment on because I have not yet watched through them, but I am sure there great. If not the movie was awsome and definitely worth buying, or renting if you are not a collector.

Summary: This Movie Has It All
Review: From beginning to end, this movie is incredible. The characters all fit together so perfectly. I saw this in the theatre without any preconceived expectations and was extremely happy with the experience. So much so that I went back and saw it two more times. Recently, I have purchased this movie on DVD and have already viewed it a couple of times. It's definately in my top ten of all-time. Each character in Snatch is funny in their own right. Like Tarantino films, you find yourself laughing when maybe you shouldn't be. However, there are plenty of times you should laugh in this movie. It's hilarious. This is modern film making at it's finest. My favorite line in the whole movie is when Tyrone says, "It was a funny angle." The accents in the movie are great. In the beginning, it took me a while to get use to the dialect, but now that I've seen it several times I have no trouble at all. Well, maybe I still need to work a little on Pitt's "pikey" accent. It will take most people a while to get the hang of it. Guy Ritchie did it all here. I have since seen "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" and enjoy it as well. If I had to take one with me, I guess this would be the one. It just has a bit more. The irony is the main aspect in "Snatch," just as it was in "Lock Stock." I feel that the characters made this a better film of the two. I'm guessing that most people will like this film. Give it a shot if you haven't. If you do rent it or buy it and don't fully get it the first time, give it another go. There are so many things going on in this movie that you need to see it a couple of times to pick them all up.

Summary: DVD to own
Review: I dont buy DVDs often, in fact, I think they are a complete waste of money. I mean, who wants to see the same movie over and over again? Snatch changed my ways. I completely enjoyed this film from start to finish. Much better then "Lock, Stock". Characters were interesting and humorous, camera work was great, plot was twisting and engaging, all in all an enjoyable film worth buying on DVD.
