Snatch is a solid movie

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2014)

After discussing Quentin Tarantino and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, this movie was recommended to me, and it is fantastic. Any fan of dialog driven movies and black humor will view this film as a gem. The movie follows a boxing promoter and his accomplice along with three petty thieves trying to recover a large diamond for their "employers" for lack of a better word. This movie doesn't include plot twists, but as I watched it I thought to myself on several occasions, "I didn't see that coming." Among the unexpected turns, the film's cast compliments the quirkiness. Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones steal every scene they're in. The only problem I had with the movie was not understanding some of the dialog because of the characters' thick accents, but I still understood it. However, take all its good qualities,top it off with a sleazy Brad Pitt and that one dude from Scarface, and you have a thrilling, gritty, silly, and stylistic caper.
