Guy Ritchie is fast becoming one of the greatest directors in my book, as he directs his movies with fast, furious, intellectual and very ogirinal style. He shows that British movies with lower budget than those hollywood mega-movies can be so much better and so much funnier!
I present another Guy Ritchie masterpiece ( after the wonderful Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ) - SNATCH
If I\'d start telling you the plot... it would take time, space and it wouldn\'t be worth it. You just need to SEE this movie to appreciate it. The only thing I can say, is that the plot(s) wrap around one big diamond. One complex ball of strings - but beware that the ball won\'t choke you... to laughter.
The plot is just SO clever, and so well accomplished, that it leaves you with a very good taste and the need to see the movie again. I\'ve done so, three times, and still it is as fresh and great as it was the first time. Not forgetting the funniness.
Brad Pitt truly shines in his role as a \'Pikey\' called Mickey, a man nobody understands - a fast-speaking, tough as a coffin nail boxer and very clever fellow.
There\'s few anonymities on lead-roles, but they\'re good. Really good. The names didn\'t catch, or leave into my mind, but they will surely be known across the world due to this movie. And I like it that way - the lesser known the cast, the more \'realistic\' it seems. And to this movie, the british actors suited like a fist in the eye... because, well, this is a british movie!
Anyways, enough with the gibberish - I recommend this movie to EVERYONE who likes british movies, comedy, action and Guy Ritchie.
Go rent it. Heck, go buy the DVD - as it has a good amount of extras and the movie is re-watchable... again and again...
What are your thoughts?

Hope it\'s true, cause i wanna see that movie. :D
-
well darth, i check it out thanks to yur ringing endorsment.

Many critics hated the movie. Screw \'em. Snatch was one of the best movies I\'d seen in a while when I saw it in the cinema. Just see it. You\'ll either hate it or love it. If you are of the latter kind, you\'ll be lovin\' it to bits.

I liked the movie,saw it over 3 months back so my memory of it ain\'t quite clear.

My mate was telling me about this movie. He said it was better than Lock Stock. Everytime I see him he asks me if I\'ve seen it yet. He loves it too.
-
Snatch is definitely a great movie, but Ritchie has a long way to go before being considered one of the better directors out there. Much applause for making such an enjoyable flick on the budget he had. Can\'t wait for the 2-disc SE DVD on July 3rd...
-
yea this film rocks...much better than lock stock. i love the part where when he say
****spoiler*****
your gun says replica....mine says desert eagle..... part, its so funny

what you mean behind you
-
Yeah, It was a good movie :)
I watch the series on TV.. (Swedish Kanal5)
I cant remember the name, but I think its directed by him aswell :)
-
i think the series was just called lock,stock. they would change the name weekly though to go with the episode like lock, stock and four stolen hoves or something like that..i had totally forgot about the series was good too
-
Both movies were weak. Snatch was the worst because it was a rip off of his own movie. He\'ll be washed up like Tarantino in a year. Oh yeah. and he married madonna when she was old. Fool.
-
Yeah yeah. Guy ritchie is an ok director... Some brits know whats goin on
