Fun, but way too similar to the predecessor.

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2001)

Let's face it, this should have been Guy Ritchie's Pulp Fiction, if Lock, Stock... was his Resevoir Dogs. But did Tarantino, for his follow up, remake Reservoir Dogs? No. This is the problem that Ritchie faces in this film. It is way too similar to the previous one to compare. Just replace shotguns with diamonds. However, having said this, Snatch is very enjoyable. The introduction of Americans works well, with Benicio Del Toro, Dennis Farina, and Brad Pitt all on top form. As for the Brits, Jason Statham is good, Vinnie Jones better (his opening "Bonjour?" cracked me up.), but the real excellent piece of acting here was Alan Ford, who was outstanding.
Best Bit: "Anything to declare?"
