Not the Pulp Fiction sequel we had hoped for.

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2000)

Expectations were high, I'd loved Lock Stock and was eagerly waiting to see if Guy Richie could do better 2nd time round when thrown a bit of money - ala Quentin Tarentino. To answer simply: no he couldn't.
Snatch is a good, slick film but it lacks something. Maybe it's originality? Very similar to Lock Stock - different storylines weave and turn crossing each other's paths in unexpected twists, but this time maybe we're expecting them?
It lacks flow, it tends to stop and start. We end up talking about the 'good' bits instead of the film as a whole.
The direction is good, Brad Pitt is excellent [it hurts me to say], the soundtrack is definitely worth buying and the majority of the acting is very good.
Snatch [7/10] is definitely worth seeing but know you're pretty much getting more of the same... and if you haven't seen Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels yet see that instead!
