Bullets, Great Acting, Laughs, Bullets and More Bullets...

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2002)

Snatch is just a great film. From the opening to the closing. Its got edge, it's all edge! The characters are cool and the acting is just splendid. Brad Pitt as the pikey, in one of his best performances.
The fact that there are so many characters in the film and that somehow they are all connected through one huge diamond makes this movie unique. I know this has been done before in many films; such as Pulp Fiction, Magnolia or Amores Perros,amongst others, but the way Snatch is told is what makes it extremely enjoyable and the audience can just savor the dialogues, the camera work and even the one liners! Which give the film part of its edge. I guess a writer and director must know that one liners can be truly funny or truly devastating in a film. In this case Guy Ritchie had the right actor, the right scene and the right one liner to elevate the potential of this awesome film.
***** 5 stars
