Terrible film

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2003)

As with the output of Danny Boyle one had suspicions that the praise piled on Ritchie as the saviour of the British film industry might be a blind to his fundamental inability to find an interesting story to tell. I am not a fan of Dicaneo's Full Monty schtick or Billy Eliott either but they do create some sense of scene. Snatch portrays London as a back lot in west London populated by media studies references to Tarantino, just as you would expect from an Old Harovian. Watch this after Lock, Stock and followed by Swept Away and Ritchie's downward trajectory becomes clear.
