Rating: 3 stars
Summary: fast paced
Review: Brit gangster flick with surprises and a grey overcast tint. Brad Pitt was great as the whacked out boxer with the golden fist. Very stylish and funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a hoot!
Review: A few things drove me to see this movie: I'm a bit of an Anglophile, since "Ocean's 11" I've become more of a Brad Pitt fan, and I had heard great word-of-mouth about it.

This is great stuff. Even though Pitt spends a bit too much time with his shirt off (my wife loved that part), it's difficult to describe him as "pretty" in this movie. His performance has further won me over to his side - he's an absolute riot! Thank God for the subtitles!

There are many memorable characters in "Snatch", and many great lines. The jump cuts and Brit slang, which some previous reviewers have criticised, are, to me, a big part of the fun. I found myself laughing out loud at several points, and smiling the whole way along.

Never a dull moment! I'm looking forward to Guy's next effort!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best film of today!
Review: Most movies that come out today would be more directed to the MTV brainless maggots. Not the case with Snatch. It's a comedy but you need to watch it more than once to understand it. It is a smart movie that stands out from the other crappy movies like The Fast and The Furious(Sorry, I just needed to make the comparison. I know they are different). The characters that are introduced are all part of the same story but some never even meet. It's all because of one little stone that is shown in the beginning. Another great thing: NO LOVE STORY! Buy this movie!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Snatch is Great
Review: Snatch is by far one of my favorite movies. I watched 10 minutes of it and I was hooked, its not only ilarious but has a fight club kind of mind to it. This is a great movie, but don't just take it from me, look at all these 5 star reviews...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Say what?
Review: This movie is great. This movie is funny. This movie had awsome music. In the grand tradtion of Guy Ritchie films Snatch is a dark comdey about London's underbelly. The story is center around Turkish and Tommy two boxing promoters who want a caravan. The decied (unwisely) to by it from Irish gypies. Brad pitt plays the hard to understand Irish bare-kunckle boxer who rips them of then lays up their boxer. From there all hell breaks loose. The more they try to get out of trouble the more they get into trouble. If you've saw and like Ritchie's first film then this is a must for you. If you haven't seen any of his films but liked any of these films: Ocean's 11, Go, Fear and loathing in Las vegas or Pulp fiction then you'll love this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: killer screwball comedy!!
Review: i don't know why my fellow americans didn't find this movie understandable? oh good god, this movie had me in stitches. well after i watched it a couple a times to understand it all, the irish gypsy accents were tough. i loved it from the get go. jason statham's sarcasm was fantastic, and i cracked up everytime he said zee germans. the russian, and the baffoons that didn't know what to do with the diamond were hilarious. not to mention the dog. i haven't seen lock, stock yet but im gonna soon. my advice get this movie, you won't regret it. if you aren't a tom boy or have a weak heart for this go watch something disgustingly PG.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pitt is at his best
Review: boy oh boy did Guy Ritchie create another masterpiece, its hip and original and sparking with funny dialouge and a lively cast, including Pitt with his garblemouth talking fistboxer. cool shootouts and fights and funny names like Boris the blade and Franky Four Fingers(Benincio Del Toro, though he is killed too quick in here). the best scene is when the dog snatchs the diamond and eats it and Dennis Farina starts shooting and then he shoots out the window as the dog jumps out and then he realizes he shot his friend Vinnie Jones, just hilarious

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: simply put - watch this movie
Review: humor, action, and twists all in one. whats not to like? oh and great accent from pitt.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "Did you understand one word of what he just said?"
Review: Guy Ritchie's "Snatch" repeats the basic blueprint of his previous film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." The genre is the same, the setting is the same, the tone is the same, and some of the actors are the same. Yet "Snatch" still manages to stand on its own by being a smoother and slicker production that its predecessor. And having Brad Pitt on board this time around certainly helps the film carve out its own identity.

Once again mayhem and mishaps help to mar a criminal scheme. Frankie Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) steals a diamond which attracts the attention of Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia) and Avi (Dennis Farina) who each want the diamond for himself. In the meantime, a gypsy (Pitt) who excels in the bare knuckle boxing department, but who is somewhat less refined in his verbal skills is recruited for a fight. Through a series of twists and turns, the fate of the diamond hunters and the gypsy boxer become intertwined and story twists ensue that would have been right at home in a screwball comedy - if not for the high body count.

What separates Ritchie's gangster flicks from those of his contemporaries is the combination of sassy wit and energy embodied in both his characters and the situations they find themselves in. Oftentimes "Snatch" strays perilously close to being too outrageous for its own good but it always manages to not cross the line into satire. Pitt gives one of his more underappreciated performances of the last few years and makes you realize just how useful the subtitle function is for DVD films. His gypsy boxer is a pure manifestation of all the zaniness that this film contains. Here's hoping that Ritchie can expand into other types of film genres in the future instead of continuing to compose variations on a theme. For the time being though, if you find yourself in the mood for an off-kilter crime caper, then "Snatch" is the film for you.
