Summary: Fantastic film!
Review: Guy Ritchie has done it again - a great follow-up to his 1999 star debut "Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels". "Snatch" is masterpiece of a film, full of fun characters and a great intricate plot. It may seem a little confusing at first, but it all comes together for a great ending. This movie is a keeper - buy it and u won't ever get tired of it.

Summary: Out Tarantinos Tarantino
Review: Granted, as it has been written before, "Snatch" breaks very little cinematic ground when compared to Guy Ritchie's equally entertaining debut "Lock Stock". He uses many of the same high octane editing and super smooth camera angles as well as snappy smart dialouge that is hip, profane and quotable much in the vein of Tarantino. And because of that overriding similarity to the previous film, "Snatch" a very very entertaining and intoxicating work in its own right, suffers from the "been there done that blues".That said, "Snatch" possesses a phenomenal ensemble of character actors all playing at the top of their game. There is not a weak sister to be found in the 98.9% male cast (save for the all too brief turn by the charming twins!). Like Tarantino, Ritchie structures his films like novels. He manages to balance character exposition with true development. It is far too rare to see real character development in contemporary film. Where Ritchie surpases Tarantino, is in his ability to be hip without resorting to the endless self-conscious parade of pop culture reference. Tarantino's characters are often too self aware, while Ritchie manages to create beings that live truly in the moment, without awareness of the world at large. Ritchie does need ( like Tarantino!) to vary he work, or he will end up repeating himself endlessly and lose the audience he so richly deserves. Snatch is a great DVD also. The extras are a delight. The "making of" documentary really shows care and insight. The atmosphere that Ritchie creates on the set fosters the high energy spunk of his movies. The deleted scenes add fleshing out to the detail heavy movie and are a blast in their own right. A special feature allows the viewer to re-insert the deleted scenes into the film. All in all, not a great movie, but an extremely entertaining story that out Tarantinos Tarantino.

Summary: Well, uhh, the best movie ever? That good enough?
Review: Dark humor. That by itself is enough to justify this movie. It is beyond well-made; whoever did the technical work on this movie deserved major recognition. The music/sound effects are simply stunning (and funny.) It is funny (as in, a horrible pain will be taking over your sides and you will loose your breath) and interesting. There is not one dull moment in this entire movie, there is always something going on. The only thing (and another reason to buy it) is that you will need to watch it a few times to get the full effect of the movie. But, after you see it, you will need to repeat the process a few times. If you have friends (you better know them well), this is a great way to kill time, as it is better to watch it in a group. Buy it and enjoy!

Summary: Smart, funny, fast, and cool
Review: Yes cool! You've got to be on your toes to watch this fast paced, fast thinking, fast talking, comedy/suspense/gore-fest....written and directed by none other than Guy Ritchie. It is smart and back and forth and sideways, but it is incredibly entertaining, now I'll try to explain it somehow. Del Toro steals a diamond, Pitt gets into a fight, everyone want the diamond back, no one understand Pitt when he talks, and then there's the squeaky dog. If that didn't make sense, watch the movie....you'll be lost too, for the first half hour, then it'll all be coming together, then everyone gets their own in the end and I can't say everyone lives happily ever after, but it works out. It's well worth the ride, I hope you enjoy it....there's bungling robbers, the Russian guy who won't die, and that boxing promoter from hell who owns a pig farm.....trust me watch. Ritchie has some imagination!

Summary: Guy Ritchie is a Genius
Review: I thought Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels was one of the best outrageously wild comedies I'd ever seen until I saw Snatch. Following the same movie genre as Lock Stock, (which is very Pulp Fictionesque), and bringing back a majority of the raucious cast of characters, Snatch hits a home run and really rates 10 stars on my scale of 1 to 5. The story goes from about 0 to 100 in about 4.7 seconds, which means it's bit complecated to explain, but not hard to follow. Most of the story takes place in London so be warned the thick and heavy English diologue may confuse you at times, but that's what subtitles are for. Either way it's a fun and energetic movie that casts Brad Pitt as a Gypsie Irishman only your subtitles can understand. With characters like Bullit Tooth Tony, Bricktop and Boris the Bullit Dodger, you know your in for a wild ride. On a different note be sure to buy this version and not the Superbit. As Iv'e noticed with most Superbit DVDs the level of detail you gain pales in comparison to the special features you lose. Finally, get the soundtrack as well, you'll love it.

Summary: The Art Of The Snatch
Review: SNATCH is a cool comedy from Guy Ritchie (aka Mr. Modonna) that has a great ensemble cast and is quite funny. Jewel thief Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) decides to take the long way to New York City, by way of London, on his way to delivering a big stolen diamond to his boss. By taking the long route, Fingers sets a series of events in motion, that involve Gypsies, a bare knukcle boxer (Brad Pitt), pawn shops, pig farmer, a kidnapping, and a cool dog. Ritchie follows the same pattern he did with LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, he fuses the the film with lots of humor, action, and ecentric characters that are interesting to watch... The film is just plain fun and funny. Watch for Pitt to play off of his status as a film stud in a unique way. The 2 disc "special edition" DVD has some good supplements. The highlights of the set are the UK version of the film. The film is presented in widescreen and full screen formats, which ever way viewers wish to go. The commentary has some nice moments about the film's path to the big screen. The making of footage rather off the wall and fits the tone of the film nicely, Lastly, the deleted scences, are hilarious. The film will not be everyone's cup of tea, for sure, but if you like your movies quirky and fun, then SNATCH fits the bill (and then some). The DVD comes in several editions, I personally recommend the 2 disc set, to get the most out of watching the film

Summary: I loved it! Depsite Brad Pitt!!
Review: This is one of the best movies ever, despite the fact that Brad Pitt and his un-understandable accent was in it. The dark humor throughout the entire film made me laugh so hard I had stomach cramps. I msut say this movie isn't for all audiences, expecially children, and adults who can't find humor in sarcastic/dark comedy. However for those of us who enjoy a sarcastic look at the world laced with just the right amount of humor, and a plot to complicated to explain, this is the movie for you!!!

Summary: Very Entertaining
Review: "Snatch" is a gangster/action film that is most certainly a cut above the rest of this genre's offerings that I have seen in a while. Director Guy Ritchie really pulled no punches with this twisted tale of a diamond, and the chaos that it causes. The film takes place in London, mostly, and is centered on several main characters. The most memorable being Brad Pitt as a bare-knuckle boxing piker (by far the best performance of the film and one of the best of his career I thought). But all of the performances in this film were great. The actors did a great job. Pretty much everything worked in this film, especially the script. The dialogue was fantastic. Some of the best I've seen in a while. The directing was also fantastic. Guy Ritchie has a bit of a unique approach to directing, but it really works in this film. The movie moves along at a somehwat rapid pace most of the time and it kept my interest pretty much the whole way through. I would give a summary of the plot line, but it is rather complicated and I'm sure one of the other 200 people who reviewed this already have. I will, however, say that the plot is good and I liked it. The dvd is a very nice package. You can watch the film in Widescreen or Fullscreen. It actually gives you the option! It would be nice if more dvds picked up on this great feature. The picture and audio are both acceptable and the menus are clean and nice. There are a bunch of extras spanning a 2 disc set and have the usual suspects. If you're a fan of gangster films, action films, dark comedies or Guy Ritchie's style of directing, then I highly recommend this film. Very Entertaining. 4 stars!

Summary: Good film
Review: A very enjoyable film - even though Guy Ritchie is a public schoolboy tosser who fancies himself as an east-end hardman. Why can't you Americans here appreciate anything that is not American. All I hear when I read these reviews is Brad Pitt this, Brad Pitt that, blah blah blah. Firstly Pitt did not even have the major role in the film and secondly his attempt at an Irish gypsy accent was bloody embarrassing. And I should know, I'm Irish. It's only you lot who live 3 thousand miles away and don't know what a genuine Irish accent actually sounds like that think his accent is good. Although I must admit he did look the part. To me the best characters in the whole film were the Russian - Boris the blade and the foul Brick Top.
