Guy Ritchie is the british Tarantino

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2000)

Although I don't consider "Lock, Stock,..." to be as good as "Reservoir Dogs", I believe "Snatch" is the brittish version of "Pulp Fiction", with different sense of humour and coolness. There's no Samuel L. Jackson in "Snatch" but there is a funny (and excellent) Brad Pitt; there aren't as many colours in "Snatch" as in "Pulp Fiction", but there's a lot more red blood (!); ... All these comparisons can be easily made between these two movies, but "Snatch" will never match up to "Pulp Fiction": this "new wave" of gangster movies is born right out of their time. And why does Guy Ritchie like to confuse the audience with a large-numbered cast? He did it in "Lock, Stock, ..." and he does it here again! Final though: "Snatch" with its character development and even story unleashing is the bigger-cast and bigger-budget version of "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels".
