THE FIRST GOOD FILM OF 2000

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2000)

Snatch the new film by Guy Ritchie is a mainstream masterpiece. And without doubt the best movie, not to mention most descent move of the year. Almost all movies this year thus far have been complete c**p. All hype and not living up to its word, something which Hollywood is fond of. However Snatch rises above all that jargon and comes out as a sly comedy that is well acted and even better written. I came into the theater and kept telling myself that this wasn't a direct sequel (although it did use most of the same actors from Lock Stock) and to watch it as if I never knew Guy Ritchie's work, and it worked. But some viewers might find this hard due to the fact that Lock Stock was such a good movie, which it was. But in my opinion this was better. The movie itself is very high paced and fun. So if you live in the U.K and have a hole burning in your pocket, go see Snatch. Your pocket and your head will thank you.
