British Comedy at its Best!

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2006)

Guy Ritchie's done it again! As was "Lock, Stock...", "Snatch" is everything you could possibly want in a British Comedy and more. With it's quick-witted one liners and its hilarious plot it really brings out the best in the likes of Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones. But the best performance of the whole movie has to go to Brad Pitt for his portrayal of Mickey O'Neil, the hard-drinking, bare-knuckle boxer who could knock out even the largest of fellas with one deadly punch. Pitt proves that he isn't just a pretty boy of Hollywood and that he can vary his performances in accordance to the film that he is starring in. Take for example his performance as O'Neil in "Snatch" to his performance as Achilles in "Troy". OK "Troy" may not be the greatest of films but there is a big, big difference in characters. "Snatch" is the perfect lads movie. Guns, money, bookmakers, boxing, stolen diamonds, robbers, gangsters and to top it all of...it's a comedy and it's British! With its snappy dialogue and side-splittingly funny, villainous Londoners I highly recommend this movie!
My Rating : A Brilliant 9/10
