Pitt is hilarious

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2012)

Brad Pitt can really be funny. He is a bare knuckled Irish boxer Mickey O'Neil and he nails the brogue so well that I was convinced that he was from the Emerald Isle. Unlike his ex-wife Madonna, Guy Ritchie actually has talent. He directs Snatch in a non linear fashion and with enough off beat dialogue to invite comparisons to Quentin Tarantino.
Benicio del Toro is jewel thief Frankie four fingers and he is in London to sell a huge diamond that he has stolen. He gets double crossed by gangsters who run a dog fighting ring and expand into boxing. Mickey winds up fighting for them and when they lose money due to the Irishman not taking a fall, all hell breaks loose.
Several kidnappings, killings and every crime known to man soon follow as Snatch becomes a full fledged, violent ride with a satisfying conclusion.
