Brad Pitt's Irish gypsy has a few moments as well, though besides the hilarious accent, the role is reminiscent of Fight Club. Hmm, must be the shirtless, bare-fisted fighting. Pitt even took an extreme cut in pay to get in on the cleverness of this film, and Ritchie went so far as changing the physical appearance of Mickey's character from fat to thin after Pitt expressed interest in the role. The ensemble cast is necessary for this type of film where no one character really stays in the limelight for too long. This means no egos, no star billing, and best of all, no Hollywood bullshit.
Snatch is mighty funny.
Almost as funny as the conversation you'll have afterwards trying to piece together the confusing bits you missed while sitting in the theatre, but not nearly as funny as the title itself. A great people has been roused to defend a great nation. All images Copyright of their respectful owners.
