Grab "Snatch"

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2001)

Everyone seems to want to compare this movie to Guy Ritchie's earlier work, "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" and I have no comment one way or the other because I haven't seen "Lock, Stock.." but I have to say this is one of the funniest plot-driven movie I've seen within the last year. I was surprised to the extent to which I enjoyed; I usually stay away from "Brit flicks", but this movie grabbed me from the opening scene to the last. It's hard to look away from the screen. Partly because it takes concentration on the viewers part just to figure out what's being said. It's also interesting to see Brad Pitt in a role where he doesn't necessarily dominate the movie's screen time, yet manages to make his relatively few scenes work to make him the ultimate protagonist. I give this movie a *** 1/2 out of ****. Go see it. If you have seen it, see it again.
