A Gimmicky mess of a film

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2002)

I've just watched Snatch and I must say that it is one worst films I've seen in quite some time. The dialogue is terribly sub-Tarantino, the story messy and incoherent, the editing headache inducing and the acting is woeful for such a good cast. The film lacks any depth, not that it aims for any, and the humour that it tries to instill instead is puerile and based mostly around swearing. Having said that though, the film does have some merits. The camerawork is excellent (even if it is excessively flashy and OTT), and the climatic boxing scene is well put together, but aside from that it is a gimmicky mess of a film that wastes the talent that it brought together.
