Sharp, stylish, and fun- "Snatch" is Tarantino-lite

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2016)

Somehow, this movie is ranked #93 on IMDb's list of the best movies ever made. I don't quite agree with that, but Snatch is certainly a fun time to be had.
Snatch is a movie about two guys who help run an underground boxing circuit. Through a lot of hijinks, they end up getting involved with jewel thieves, dangerous gypsies, and mob bosses.
Ritchie's talent is obvious. He writes funny and irreverent dialogue and has a very in-you-face directing style that fits right in with the tone of the movie. The pace of the movie is constantly in overdrive, meaning that the viewer is always engaged.
If you take the wit and color of Ocean's 11 and combine it with the excessive violence and fractured story of Pulp Fiction, you end up with Snatch. That's pretty high praise, and the movie deserves that praise.
When the credits roll, you haven't learned very much about the world, or about yourself, but you had a good time. Snatch is a light movie, and a fun movie. If that's what you want, this is a movie for you.
