This was not what I was expecting.

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2013)

I first heard about this movie when I was looking at the films I hadn't seen from the top 250 list and I read about this. I thought that it would be a very simple and boring movie. But when I saw it I was pleasantly surprised. Although the storyline is pretty simple, the way it is done is not as simple as it sounds. Most of the characters become involved with the diamond whether they like it or not.
But what makes this film so interesting. Well for starters the script is full of many funny comments. The acting is also absolutely wonderful. Especially Brad Pitt. Also the editing in some scenes like the milk drink scene keeps you guessing about how the scene will end. Then there is also the boxing scenes, especially the final one that is done by using a mixture of slow motions and still shots. And finally, there is the fun and exciting soundtrack that goes with it.
If you liked lock stock and two smoking barrels, then you'll love snatch.
