A fun, hilarious, and clever flick not to be overlooked.

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2001)

First of all, don't make the mistake of labelling Snatch as the British Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction and Snatch have nothing in common. Pulp fiction rejuvaneted the crime genre in 94', so don't expect Snatch to do the same. Make no mistake, Snatch is an excellent film, yet it makes no attempts to hide what it is: a quick fun film.
If not evident from his previous film, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Guy Ritchie is a director to watch. Snatch is a slickly made film from beginning to end. The spinning, freezing, zooming camera shots create a style distinctive to Ritchie. If anything, Snatch is fun to look at.
What really makes the film shine is the meandering and interweaving plotlines of the various characters. Snatch manages to create numerous hilarious situations out of your standard steal the diamond bit. The movie never slows down and will have you captivated from beginning to end.
The number of colorful and varied characters make for fun dialogue, and accents. Brad Pitt is hilarious and totally convincing. Again, don't go in with any pre judgements (i.e. the a fight club mind set). His role in Snatch eclipses that of Tyler Durden. It would be futile to describe the rest of the excellent cast. Oh, and then there's the dog (worth the price of admission alone). Ritchie takes every chance he gets to poke fun at anything and everything, and it works splendidly.
Snatch, though not wholly original is a gem. Don't listen to the comparison to Pulp Fiction, just watch it and have a blast with this expertly crafted and slickly made film. Nine out of Ten.
