Another Brit gangster movie, but a GOOD ONE this time

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2001)

Personally I was getting a bit bored of British gangster movies after the amount of rubbish that followed Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (with the exception of Gangster No 1). Snatch, though, reminded me why I liked Guy Ritchie's first film so much. It's all very well having a complex, twisty plot, but Snatch also has killer dialogue and is extremely funny. It owes as much to a good episode of Minder (classic British TV series) as it does to Goodfellas. Brilliant cast too. 8/10
