Summary: BRILLIANT!!!
Review: From the very opening shots of Orthodox Jews walking through the screen gates, Snatch is a real mouth-opener. When they take the guns out and this mad Big Beat track kicks in, I was hit with a burst of energy I haven't experienced since first watching Reservoir Dogs. Snatch is a funny, dizzy, violent gem, full of inventive camera and editing techniques, hillarious dialogue (I watched it 3 times and I already know the whole damn thing by heart - and I'm not even a native English speaker) and memoriable performances. Undoubtedly, the best scene is the lecture on the proper feeding of bodies to pigs given by Brick Top to Vinnie, Sol and whatever the guy played by Goldie is named ("You know what nemesis is?"), with Brick Top's goons clutching cleavers and saws in the cellophane wrapped room ("4 days...I kid you not!"). The most memorable character is of course Boris The Blade, the "sneaky f...g Russian" ("Case attached to his arm? Why didn't you chop it off??"). I see I get a little carried away...

Summary: good flick
Review: I saw this in the theaters and rented it a few times I really enjoyed it, brad pit is hilarious as a piker. I think that if you haven't seen it you are missing out but don't watch it to many times or you will lose interest. good the first and second time but isn't as appealing the third and forth.

Summary: Clever and Off-beat.
Review: From the other reviews here, you either loved it or hated it. Personally...I loved it. There are several interconnected storylines that play off of each other, creating the movie. If you don't like deadpan/British humor (verbal and action), you probably won't get half of the jokes. Guy Ritchie made an extremely clever movie that's enhanced by the sndtrk and the fact that the actors fit their characters.

Summary: Snatch lives up to its predecessor
Review: This movie can be difficult to watch in the theatres because of the wierd accent especially Brad Pitt ... who plays an Irish Gypsy in the film. (Damn Pikeys .......... ;-)
Thanks to DVD you can catch the dialogue in the subtitles and I guess that's what went wrong for this movie as the theatre audience felt a little helpless trying to understand the dialogue.
Guy Ritchie in his latest offering gives us something which is a cross between "Lock Stock and 2 Smoking barrels", "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs".
The story involves Diamonds and underground bare-knuckle boxing and different gangs of underworld characters with interesting sub plots all intertwining into 1 single story. Snatch is a bit more riveting and also a lot more violent than LS2SB. Giving away the story would be a crime as half the fun in the movie is in the process of discovery and the element of surprise (sometimes shock !!!).Guy Ritchie handles the camerawork brilliantly and the actors playing their parts are well chosen. Jason Statham and Vinny Jones return along with some big stars like Dennis Farina, Brad Pitt and Benicio Del Toro. Overall a smart and witty film which inspite of the amazing complexity and the frequent jumping back and forth in time does not confuse the viewer.
Memorable scenes ...
Bullet-Tooth Tony --- "Replica and Desert Eagle".
Brad Pitt in all the scenes.
Any scene with Dennis Farina especially the one at the customs
'Anything to declare ?' , "Yeah Don't go to London".
This movie shows Guy Ritchie doing what he does best ... but I hope the next time around this extremely talented film maker tries something different instead of sticking to the formula.

Summary: Excellent, funny, stylish moviemaking!
Review: This is that rare thing! A sequel that's better than the original (although it's not "really" a sequel in any of the characters from the Lock, Stock & You Know The Rest).
Ritchie's maybe employing the same formula and some may argue "Snatch" offers nothing new, but same can be said for certain George Lucas and his original Star Wars trilogy, or F.F. Coppola's Godfather epic. My answer is the same for all: "Why change something that works?" At least until it becomes a boring routine, which this is not (yet).
The story involves fixing illegal boxing matches, diamond heist and sumggling and then it gets complicated (in a goody good way).
Characters are so comic (in both meaning of the word), dialogues sharp and funny and directing is stylish and fast-paced.
There are so many good special features on this DVD, but the best has to be parallel viewing of the storyboards and the final cut of the movie, which can really help anyone who wants to see how te movie is made...

Summary: boring, ugly, and stupid movie
Review: My friends and I were really disappointed with this movie. Ok. We really hated it and we all wished we would've walked out at the beginning. It was so boring. And so nasty. And lol just like completely dumb. We laughed once in a while, ok maybe you wanna say it was over our heads- but we wanna say it's the worst movie we've ever seen and we don't think anybody should see it although for some reason you ppl gave it a million good reviews. You don't have to listen to me- i mean techinically i'm not old enough to watch it anyways, but I just wanted to say what I thought.

Summary: Stylish, Creative, Fun, Funny, and Very, Very High Energy
Review: It would be very easy to call Guy Ritchie the English Quentin Tarantino. The two directors have a great deal in common as filmmakers. They differ in one major fashion: Tarantino likes to wallow in Americana in his films, while there is no similar celebration of English culture in Ritchie's films. Ritchie also tends to be far more kinetic in his use of the camera, using a lot of jump cutting, shots with unexpectedly harsh lighting, and some almost surreal insert shots. If Quentin Tarantino were English and had watched RUN LOLA RUN twenty or thirty times, the result might be a film that very closely resembles this one.The cast, many of whom are either well known in general or known from Ritchie's other hit film, LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, is absolutely first rate. One of the great virtues of the film is that despite having a large cast and a devilishly complex plot, one rarely gets genuinely confused about the interrelationships among the various characters. The one actor who especially impressed me was Brad Pitt. In my opinion, there are two Brad Pitts. The better known is a mildly entertaining but mainly boring romantic leading man. Star of such dull flicks as MEET JOE BLACK and LEGENDS OF THE FALL. The other Brad Pitt is one of the most effective character actors in Hollywood. We have seen this Brad Pitt before in films like THE TWELVE MONKEYS (for which he received a well-deserved Oscar nomination and won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor) and TRUE ROMANCE. Pitt stands out in this film as a gypsy who is both an extraordinary street fighter and the speaker of his own language. Approximately 10% of what Pitt says in this movie is recognizable language; the other 90% is some form of indecipherable language. But the great thing is that it never sounds like just gibberish. Personally, I wish Pitt would never make another romantic movie--whether comedy or drama--and spend all his energies as an actor on quirky character roles. He is fairly boring as a romantic actor, but is utterly remarkable in his character roles. Ironical casting: One of the gypsies is portrayed by Jason Flymyng, who played Frederick Pope in THE RED VIOLIN, an English Lord who obtained the title instrument from some gypsies, one of whom he later "entertained" in his bedroom. The actress portraying this gypsy was the then unknown Minnie Driver.

Summary: a little midleading, but great
Review: I don't know why they advertised this movie to say Brad Pitt is the big star, because he definitley isn't featured the most --and he's not the best actor there. Everyone does an amazing job with a fun script. This is an awesome movie, but it misleads people to think Brad Pitt is the big star.

Summary: SUPERB!!!
Review: Huge characters, great plot, best casting. It's a must have DVD.
