I admire Guy Ritchie as a director, and anyone who has seen Lock, Stock... can attest to his ability, but I can't help being disappointed by Snatch. Where Lock, Stock... was thrillingly original, Snatch is confusing and overly complicated. The characters are less convincing, and the performances are pedestrian. Had this film been the work of anyone other than Guy Ritchie, it would have been touted as an unoriginal, commercialised and inferior Lock, Stock... clone. This movie proves that a bigger budget does not a better movie make.
