Great stylistic crime caper.

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2013)

Guy Ritchie's Snatch is a fun, snappy crime caper populated by flash geezers, psychotic gangsters and inept boxing promoters. The plot - involving a stolen diamond - is almost of secondary importance to the visuals and quickfire dialogue, but is helped along through devices and coincidences and propelled by Ritichie's now - trademark visuals.
This is very much a continuation in the same vein as Lock Stock . . and features some of the same actors including ex-footballer Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham and Alan Ford who has a memorable turn as the ruthless Brick Top.
Statham's boxing promoter Turkish and his dimwitted accomplice Tommy find themselves"on thin fackin' ice" after a fight they rig doesn't go according to plan. Pikey bareknuckle champ Mickey O'Neill (Pitt) incapacitates their original fighter, thereby forcing them to use him in the match. Told to throw the fight, O'Neill instead puts his opponent down with one punch, incurring the wrath of Brick Top and placing them in the one place no sane person wishes to be - in Brick Top's debt. Meanwhile, three even stupider crooks attempt to recover the diamond from Franky (Del Toro) with hilarious results.
I'm from Ireland and find Mr Pitt's pikey/traveller accent hilarious. But, it suits the over the top tone of the film perfectly. The violence and the Cockney one liners are fast and furious.
I'm not going to go into much more detail, so I'll just say the film is extremely good fun and deserves a repeat view.
