gloveraaron Turkish (Jason Statham), Tommy (Stephen Graham), Brick Top (Alan Ford), Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones), Boris The Blade (Rade Serbedzija), Sol (Lennie James), Vinny (Robbie Gee), Tyrone (Ade), Gorgeous George (Adam Fogerty), Frankie Four Fingers (Benicio del Toro), Cousin Avi Denovitz and the list goes on. If that gaggle of unique character names and cast members does not spark your movie watching interest I don't know what will. These characters are just part of the many great elements that make up the movie "Snatch"; which landed the 100th spot on the "IMDb top 250" movies list.With a plot focused theme, this comedy/thriller takes us on an outing full of hilarious mischief, and it plays off the popular saying "trust no one". Fast paced and full of plot twist, we watch the main character Turkish become involuntarily involved in troublesome predicaments. Turkish and Tommy have their hands full trying to pay off a debt owed to the gangster Brick Top due to a boxing bet gone bad, because Mickey (their unruly prize fighter) not being able to follow directions. At the same time, we have the feud between Boris and Cousin Avi Denovtiz over a diamond heist performed by Frankie Four Fingers whom worked for Avi and was set up to be robbed by Boris. Boris the Blade's reputation for violence requires Avi to hire the hit-man Bullet Tooth Tony to help him retrieve his stolen diamond. Although Avi hired an able body to complete his task, Boris was not so fortunate when he hired the incapable Sol, Vinny and Tyrone to steal the stone from Frankie Four Fingers, and rob the bookies owned by the gangster Brick Top. Brick Top in turn puts on a search to find the 3 who attempted to rob his establishment, and they in turn give Brick Top knowledge of the diamond which he sends them to retrieve to avoid death. Whew! That's a lot going on. So, after many bullets fly, and hysterical interactions take place the movie comes full circle, and we end with the main character/narrator Turkish on top with the diamond, alongside his friend Tommy. "Snatch" is riddled with jump-cuts, witty fast paced dialogue, and subjective camera angles that help the audience stay interested, and feel like part of the film. Every scene plays into the plot, and any unneeded story/scenes are left out of the film. So, it is important for viewers to be attentive while watching the film or you will be sure to miss amusing conversations, and key moments. The angles help you engage in the conversation as they seem to be in first person view and the cut back and forth between the characters. Guy Richie used the same style and plot driven theme in his other film "Locked, Stocked, and Two Smoking Barrels". We also see some of the same actors such as Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones in this film too, but it was missing Brad Pitt who puts on a noteworthy performance as Mickey in "Snatch". Though quite comical Snatch is most certainly an adult film. Although some parts of the movie can be considered grisly, it still manages to put a funny spin on murder, and deception (I know that sounds a little crazy). Between a botched robbery, which included a getaway driver who can barely fit in his own car, Brick Top's passion for pigs, and Bullet Tooth Tony's different but effective way of handling his victims, you will get a fair share of laughing at illegal activities.If you are a person who loves movies that are plot driven, fast paced, and packed with charismatic dialogue be sure to watch "Snatch" when you get a chance. This movie will not disappoint.
Jon_Snow_21 ​Snatch is completely badass. No other word can describe it better. It's fast paced, action packed hilarious and most importantly, stylish.Even though it Came out 14 years after Snatch, the most accurate comparison I would have for this movie is the colorful 2014 movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, one of my favorites. Their fast paced style and fast talking witty characters are similar in the best possible way. There is rarely a dull moment where something extreme, hilarious or outrageous isn't happening. There's tons of action in Snatch even though it's not necessarily an action movie. Most of the time it's pretty comedic and always awesome.The story is hard to explain. In a few words, Jason Statham and his assistant embark on a weird adventure when Brad Pitt puts their boxer in the hospital after ripping him off. Also, there's a huge diamond that about ten people are trying to get which ties into the boxing. Snatch's only flaw like the grand Budapest is that sometimes the movie moves TOO fast and you don't really know what's going on.Jason Statham gives an extremely Jason Statham performance, if you know what I mean. If you don't well he's basically like in his 14 other transporter movies. It's basically like the Rock, Ryan Reynolds and Vin Diesel. If you like his action movie persona like me, you'll love him here. Even though it's rather similar to his other movies, I think it was a little better. Everyone else is pretty good, especially Brad Pitt with his unintelligible pikey accent.I hope Snatch will go down as an energetic classic, because in my book, it definitely is.
DonAlberto If the only thing you know about the director of Snatch is the he is (or was) Madonna's husband then you have not been following his career. That was my case. So, when I heard this movie receive a lot of praise I wondered why. Now, after watching the film twice, I understand why it was hailed so much. To round it all off, Guy Ritchie is not only the director but the scriptwriter, which goes a long way to explain why the film has become a cult film for so many people all over the world. One does not know if Mr Ritchie's wife talents might have rubbed off one her husband, or perhaps the other way around. This is a joke, one that was aimed at get you in the right mood to watch the film, for this is a film that is riddled with pranks, gags a witty comments. There is crime and violence too but it is just a means to and end. The plot is twisted as you would expect in a film this good and the the characters live up to everyone's expectations of London's underground world of unlicensed boxing, gypsies, gangsters should be like. Yet I would not like to focus on any actors in particular, I believe that what Brad Pitt does with his character is beyond almost every actor's reach. His impersonation of a gypsy boxer is as accurate as it can be.
Brazilian_Pharaoh What i found most entertaining about this movie is that, like Pulp Fiction, it shows us many character arcs and how they are all related. Gangsters, gypsies, illegal boxing matches, diamond smuggling, etc. somehow merges into the same history and with Guy Richtie's over the top style, great soundtrack and awesome acting, it creates an unusual comedy worth watching again and again.
