Snatch

Unscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookmakers, a Russian gangster, incompetent amateur robbers and supposedly Jewish jewelers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond.

Amazing how a bunch of coincidences can result in a great and funny story. The actings are great (specially Brad Pitt). The plot reminds me a lot Pulp Fiction, but the editing has faster cuts, so the movie looks more modern and chaotic.
I thought it was a fantastic movie.
A great example of how to combine action and comedy into one movie. Guy Ritchie certainly knows hows to keep its audience captivating. I wish all action-comedies were like this, but unfortunately that is not the case.
Looks like Guy Ritchie really knows how to do an entertaining flick involving gangsters of all kinds with the most particular skills and abilities.
Once again, an after the great Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels he did and amazing job with Snatch. It could not have worked well because I think the themes are very similiar just with a few changes in the story, but the truth is the two are equally great!
He presents us the most hilarious characters, with the most excellent dialogues and a lot of memorable lines into a very well structured plot. His visual style and edition are once again amazing!
All of the performances are fantastic, especially Brad Pitt that it was my favourite as the crazy gypsy boxer. I think Jason Statham should do a lot more films like this two. I really enjoyed to see him in this kind of role than in the last few roles that he has been doing lately.
Overall, a fantastic comedy!
Wow, I loved the story and how everything slowly came together. Fun movie to watch!
Superb movie, one of the best of all time, classic!!!
Guy Richie at his best. Fast, crazy action. Crazy characters that perform crazy actions and have weird dialogues. Just excellent and in no way behind what Quentin Tarantino does. Hillarious and completely over the top with a few nice twists in the story. A exceptional performance by Brad Pitt round off the brilliance of the movie. I just love it.
Another one of my favourite movies!
Yeah I like dags lol best line EVER!
Certain films innately embody the spirit and flair of a particular point in time. In _Snatch_’s case, the essence of the late ’90s is laced into its DNA. From the groovy, thumping soundtrack to the flashy, in-your-face visual motifs; the grimy criminal subject matter to the extreme sports-inspired camerawork, it boasts an impressive collection of very specific, time-sensitive pop culture calling cards. Watching this now, almost a quarter-century later, is like cracking open a time capsule. Imagine _Pulp Fiction_ as produced by MTV.
Motivated the ultimate MacGuffin, a diamond the size of a cueball, the plot follows a number of desperate London criminals as they conspire and connive to pull one over on their rivals and reap the riches. We’ve got high-profile mob bosses and blue collar boxing promoters, ex-KGB agents and common street thugs, each armed with their own peculiar bag of quirks and colorful idiosyncrasies. Though most parties are unaware of the others, their paths constantly interlace and overlap, and the whole mess eventually falls together in a great dogpile during the final act’s frantic, crowded, hilarious payoff sequence.
_Snatch_ is an essentially dark comedy, stuffed with all manner of eccentric lowlifes, surprise twists and grim, ironic punchlines. It is a Guy Ritchie / Matthew Vaughn joint, after all, and following hot on the heels of _Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels_, their successful debut, it punches a number of the same buttons. Reuses many actors, too, with Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones the most recognizable of the bunch. It’s newcomer Brad Pitt who steals the show, however, in his spectacular turn as an unintelligible, tattooed, caravan-dwelling boxer. His whole community is a riot, in fact, a tight group of lawless drunkards who honor no set of rules. Their unpredictability is just the fuel this film needed to bump its fire from a small blaze into a lofty inferno. Is it dated? Sure. Is it still entertaining? Yeah, that too.
