The same thing nearly happened to me while sitting through the reedited version now making its way into theaters. But the Russian has set up an ambush using a sad-sack trio of East End London pawnbrokers. Guy Ritchie takes his multiple story lines filled with names and characters straight out of a British version of a Damon Runyon tale, and tells them simultaneously with overlapping scenes, quick cuts and plenty of editing room trickery. The end result is fast paced, sometimes humorous, but ultimately confusing and dissatisfying. Similar in tone and style to his earlier hit comedy, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels , Ritchie invites comparison by casting many of the same actors who appeared in that film.
Snatch is extremely violent in nature.
While it is true that many of the gorier details take place just outside of the frame of the camera, the implied violence is clearly understood and no more palatable. We don't need to see Brick Top feed his enemies to the pigs to be repulsed at the suggestion. Every character in the film is involved in some way, shape, or form in a seedy, underhanded, or illegal enterprise. The fact that they are inept at it does not excuse the immorality of their actions. To be a companion of such individuals is to ignore one of the strongest of God's exhortations.
