Summary: Original? No. Entertaining? Definitely!
Review: Gangster genre films are as predominant these days as westerns were in the 50's, and like those westerns, not all gangster films are worth watching. But "Snatch" is worth watching (again and again and again) because of vivid, colorful characters (realized perfectly by an ensemble cast), clever, humorous dialogue and confident, stylish direction. To be sure, "Snatch" owes much to Tarantino's films, but it's much more ...and stands up well on its own as a fun, entertaining film.

Summary: Cockney Gangsters, Hysterical Theives, Boxing Gypsy Pikers!
Review: An all star cast stars in this gritty, high-adrenaline film with several different plots echoeing throughout. The story goes a little like this. Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) has secured himself financially by stumbling across an 84 carrot diamond as big as a man's fist. Little does Franky know that other individuals are also interested in the diamond. Boris the blade, an ex-Russian KGB agent has taken it upon himself to get the diamond. A man with connections in the diamond industry in new york Cousin Avi and his British counterpart Doug the head have also taken an interest. Then there is another plot about two unlicensed boxing promoters, Turkish and his partner Tommy that have to come up with a way to rid themselves of their slimy boss, Brick Top. Brad Pitt enters the film as Mickey, the bare fisted gypsy boxer that is hierd by Turkish to come and fight for him. An amazing tie of the film in the end. Not excactly hysterical comedy movie, but mostly like Pulp Fiction. Dark, wild, action movie with a comedic twist.

Summary: Another Guy Ritchie Masterpiece
Review: If you have seen Guy Ritchie's first feature, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, you know that he has a very unique and refreshing style of movie-making. Like LS&TSB, Snatch is basically the story of several groups of bungling underworld characters whose stories intermingle in several different ways. Without giving too much away, it basically revolves around a diamond and illegal underground boxing.But the thing that makes this movie great is the fact the style. Ritchie manages to take several storylines and intermingle them flawlessly. Any other director would just confuse the audience, but Ritchie's gritty, yet stylish editing keeps you laughing AND following the story, all at once. The characters are all funny and well-developed. And especially look at Brad Pitt's performance, easily one of his best (and funniest). And this, like LS&TSB is a movie you will have to see several times just to pick up on all the little nuances and dialogue you missed the previous times. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because as good as it is, it is not as "fresh" as LS&TSB. Still, it is very highly recommended.

Summary: Hungry Hogs, A Hot Diamond, And A Heck of A Right Hook
Review: Three small-time hoods (Robbie Gee, Ade, Lennie James) walk into a bar and pull guns, pointing them straight-armed and trembling at a big-time hit man (Vinnie Jones), seated. Slowly, he reaches into his shirt, pulls out a much larger, cooler looking gun than theirs, and sets it on the table. He proceeds to point out that the word “Replica” is inscribed on the sides of their guns. Switch to close-up: beads of sweat forming on the brows of the three hoods. This is the type of methodical, tension filled yet droll scene that can be so effective in a film like this, because the outcome is unpredictable. There are no heroes. Anyone could die, on purpose or from a stray bullet--and anyone could end up with a big bag of cash in their hand, only to lose it again and subsequently be chopped up and devoured by pigs. ... Like Ritchie’s debut project, “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels,” “Snatch” has enough twists and turns to choke a man-eating hog. But “Lock, Stock…” also had a charismatic character in the lead, missing in “Snatch.” Here, the character we latch to is One Punch’ Mickey ONeal (Brad Pitt), who we end up wishing had some lines we could understand without translation (although a subtitle feature is available with the DVD). “Snatch” is a fast-paced, clever film with some definite gems. Benicio Del Toro’s brief appearance as Franky Four Fingers, Jones’ reprisal of his tough-guy persona as Bullet Tooth Tony, and of course Brad Pitt’s mean Right Cross are all worth a second look.

Summary: Destined to become a cult classic
Review: This movie made me laugh big time. The previews were somewhat misleading. You begin watching the movie with the idea that it is either going to be really serious, or really just a comedy. The truth is that it is a comedy about serious things. Mafia, gambling, etc... Everyone has these names, like "One Punch Mickey" and "Franky Four Fingers". Benicio Del Toro had a rather small part in the movie, which was sort of a let down. But his character is hillarious. There are these scenes, like flashbacks sort of, of him in Vegas gambling with Elvis playing in the background, that pop up when people are talking about him. The cinematography and music score made one feel like the movie was a cross between Pulp Fiction, Casino, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I was a skeptic coming to the picture. I am now proud to say this movie is awesome!

Summary: A personal view
Review: After seeing this film (or the 30 minutes of it I could bear) I felt an overwhelming need to try to let the director know that there is a sweating, balding, 465 lb man out there who has knelt on the floor with his wife's album covers fanned out in front of him. I should know. I am that man. I feel Guy Ritchie has done exactly this to me with this bilge.

Summary: One of the best movies ever
Review: This movie is magnificent. It has all the elements I like in a movie. The "pikey subtitles" are something really really helpfull. This DVD is full of extras, a must have for all the people who like good movies, and specially "bad guys" movies in the line of Pulp Fiction and Fight Club. I even had to watch it like 3 times in the same week, because all my friends and relatives wanted to see what was all the fuzz about this movie.

Summary: Different spin on "Lock, Stock, yada yada yada"
Review: The editorial review really hit the nail on the head in this one...this film IS enjoyable in the vein of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," if not for the simplest of changes. Ritchie's first film invloved a few brits in deep trouble with a dodgy hustler, and in this film...a pair of brits in deep trouble with a crooked boxing promoter. Add a jewel thief with a penchant for gambling, several small time crooks with the worst luck, a rich american who tolerates his hate of London in search for the diamond, a dodgy russian with seemingly matrix-like ability, a hitman who is dragged along for the ride, and a very mysterious gypsy who is hired to fight for the two brits in trouble after he knocks their prized fighter senseless. And then watch their delicate wishes get thrown into chaos. However enjoyable this movie is, in comparison with Ritchie's first effort, there isn't a whole lot of new material to fairly distinguish this movie into a class of its own. But, based on cast and execution, it almost doesn't seem to matter.
