Wickedly Funny

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2002)

A hugely enjoyable movie, from the opening scene of a 'jewish' Benicio Del Toro snatching the stone in a snappily-filmed armed heist, to It's denouement, Guy Richie's tale of a madcap hunt for a stolen diamond, is smart, sassy, in-your-face movie. The script is superb, and the cast make the most of it. Brad Pitt is a revelation an Irish, bareknuckle boxing gypsy, his thick and hilariously unintelligible Irish brogue leaves you wanting more, if you like your comedy sharp, fast, and relentless, then 'Snatch' is a must-see. Great work by Guy Richie, and an excellent follow-up to "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".
