That dog....it had me in stitches!!

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2000)

I saw Lock, Stock when it first came out, and loved it, I knew it would be huge because of the love of gangster films flockin about at the time.
When I went to see Snatch I was not expecting it to be that good, I thought it would be too close to Lock, Stock and everyone had already started to refer to it as a sequel, when it is clearly not.
Snatch centres around a few people, but the narrator is an illegal boxing promoter called Turkish, who gets into trouble when his boxer is knocked out by an indecipherable Irish guy called Mickey, who is played brilliantly by Brad Pitt.
There are alot of things going on here, but the good thing about this film is that they all get tied up and twisted around each other at the end, so there are no loose ends.
I was surprised at the performance of Brad Pitt, he's a bit too mainstream for me, but in this film his acting and accent are superb. The only bit I didn't like involving him is when he stares into the flames, that is a bit too much like a hollywood blockbuster scene.
Anyway, overall I loved this film. Oh and the dog I mentioned, watch out for it, its soooooo funny!
I give this film 9 out of 10
