Great Fun

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2005)

An English friend of mine recommended that I see both Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. He guessed my sense of humor right, because I love them both. The viewer needs to possess tolerance for a certain amount of violence, and a black sense of humor helps. It also helps if the viewer has seen a lot of BBC America broadcasts, or has a natural aptitude for interpreting accents, because they're pretty thick in places. Brad Pitt's mumbling is completely unintelligible to me, but my Limey buddy assures me that he used a genuine Irish-gypsy accent. Unless they're aching to see Brad Pitt, I wouldn't think most women would enjoy this film. The ones who do are my kinda gals! This is an enjoyable film...for the right audience.
