Summary: ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME!
Review: This movie isn't simply a comedy or any other movie. It's a damn good comedy. It has what other movies never had and what other movies can't have. The characters are witty and the story is excellent. It keeps you moving with continuous suspense and comedy at the same time. I think that this movie and the movie Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, are both way ahead of their time in terms of the type of comedy, the type of camera work, the type of everything. And the thing is that, it's very realistic. The editing of the movie must have been tremendously difficut. But the result turned to be excellent. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who wants a good time.

Summary: cheeky
Review: lets be honest. taken seriously this movie is juvenile and typical. but i dont think ritchie had that in mind, i think that this is a very good tongue in cheek 'bang-bang' movie making fun of the entire genre it relies so much on. its fast, funny, and sick. if your looking for profundity watch some bergman. if your want silly british making fun of themselves give this a go. just please dont take it seriously, i dont think that is the point. and if it was than it the most pompous postering i ever seen come out of a punk english-man's rear. but even so, just laugh at it and remember the authors intentions are not always the most reliable source for truth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wondeful time
Review: Ignore any critics who say "he done the same last time!" because it's a fun movie and i have never seen his other movie so for me it was all new. see i love a movie that knows how to use cuss words like it was an art form! this movie is a great time and the disk has so many extras you will have spent your money well.

Summary: Snatch up Snatch!
Review: There's nothing like a cool diamond heist/comedy/crime flick, and Snatch embodies them all richly! Very smartly made, with great dialogue, and a fabulous cast. Jason Statham as "Turkish" is my favorite. But, Brad Pitt really pulls it off as "Mickey", a gypsy whose dialogue is unintelligible at best. The DVD actually gives you the option of enabling "Pikey" subtitles so you can understand what Brad is saying. Brilliant! The DVD also includes deleted scenes, which after viewing them, one must feel sympathy for Guy Ritchie having to choose what to keep. Snatch boils down to one of those movies that is a must own, one that you'll pop in from time to time and enjoy every minute, all over again. I could go on forever.. but.. you've got some Snatch"ing" to do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like Lock Stock you will enjoy Snatch.
Review: I saw this movie after I saw the first movie from Guy Ritchie, Lock Stock and Two Barrels. I initially thought the same type of visual affects would not work but little did I know that it can be re-used to better the action. The story line was a little faster and more involved then the previous.
The acting for this movie was always on queue. The combination of old and new actors was a great mix. Del Toro, Pitt and Statham were perfect selections for the roles.
The special edition DVD has interesting commentary with deleted scenes that should be watched just to see how the director had a difficult time to select the proper scenes.
The interactive menus also add value to the DVD experience. The scene I recommend is the before last scene in the boxing ring.
I gave the DVD 5 stars because I enjoy watching it every time I place it in the player.
Enjoy the Show!

Summary: One of the best movies of the last few years.
Review: There's no doubt about it -- "Snatch" is a masterpiece. Each of the movie's numerous characters each have their own hilarious personalities -- most notably, Brick Top ("Care for some sugar? No thank you, I'm sweet enough already.") and Bullet-Tooth Tony (Replica vs. Desert Eagle...need I say more?). Even the more minor characters manage to steal the scenes they're in (Franky Four-Fingers, Tyrone, and Mickey are good examples)...I can't name a single actor who gave a sub-par performance in this film. The writing is brilliant, the opening credits are the coolest I've seen in a movie in a _long_ time, and the entire film is dripping with a level of attitude not seen since "Pulp Fiction". Don't think twice about this one -- if you are the least bit interested in smart, funny, edgy, or otherwise enjoyable movies, run right out to your local store and pick up a copy of this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow
Review: From the moment you start watching this movie, you know you are in for something really good. The soundtrack grabs you right from the start, and then the diversity of great charachters draws you right in to a fantastic story about a diamond, a fighter, and an evil little man named Brick Top who has some outrageous lines. If you enjoy a well thought out movie with fantastic acting, get this one. Finally, the British are getting good movies out.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: May Be A Good Movie If Only We Could Understand Language
Review: This may be a good movie. We couldn't tell and gave up about 45 minutes into it. We've had to do this on some other films from the UK too as we simply cannot understand most of what is being said. This is because the film is using British working class accents (I don't know what else to call them) which we can't decipher. I am writing this "review" simply to warn other viewers that if they have the same problem that we do, this film may be a bad choice for them. I cannot review the other aspects of the movie since I have no idea of what was going on in a movie where I can't hear what they are saying.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The movie RAWKS, DVD leaves a bit to be desired
Review: This has to be one of the best movies I've seen in a long time - other reviewers have gone into details about the great dialogue and characters, so I won't bore you. One thing that hasn't been emphasized is that you can watch this movie more than once and still be entertained so it's worth buying.

BUT...

I was less than impressed with the "extras" on this DVD. The "Making of Snatch" featurette was okay, but the "Cast and Crew Commentary" was the worst I've ever heard. Guy Ritchie and the Producer were either hungover or extremely tired and really had very little to say about what they were thinking about while making this great flick. Too bad.

So if you get the VHS version instead of the DVD, you probably won't be missing too much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY entertaining!
Review: This is one of the best films that I have seen in a long time. My question is "what were the film critics thinking?" I missed this film in the theatres because of the mediocre reviews, but I am thrilled to say that it's absolutely brilliant. ALL of the characters were a joy to watch,--- great script, great soundtrack, great cast. BUY IT. It's a fantastic film to round out any DVD collection. The price of the DVD is worth the "milk out of the car window" scene alone. I laughed until my sides hurt. The fast-paced and unexpected plot twists were delightful. Guy Ritchie doesn't waste an inch of film....I imagine it was hell to edit,-- but he nailed it perfectly!
