I HATE BRITISH MOVIES!!!

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2001)

But, I loved Snatch! It is a rare exception for me to like British movies. The accents make it hard to understand what the characters are saying and also, I find that British movies tend to be rather boring and tediously short on action. Snatch is fast, frenetic, and funny. The brief camera shots of a high strung and nervous Cousin Avi crossing the Atlantic ocean on the Concorde is just hilarious. Comparisons to Quentin Tarantino movies are unavoidable - then again, who cares? (Oh, I know, some of the supremely jaded movie watchers who critique the movies at imdb). In other words, these people want to see an "epic", each and every time they go to the movies. I could watch movies like this hundreds of times. Some moviegoers actually like all of the plot twists and the large ensemble cast. Unless you are being paid to critique movies, try to relax while watching them, instead of looking for every weak part, or trying to compare this movie with that. Let each movie stand(or fall) on its own merits. Really, what you can pay for drinks, candy, and/or popcorn is where the real critiquing should begin(and end). I took off one point because, as I stated earlier, the dialogue is hard to understand at times. Brad Pitt being the exception, we weren't suppose to understand what the hell he was saying. Good job Guy Ritchie, now I have to check out Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels - not for comparisons, but to hopefully enjoy another movie directed by the same person. 9/10
