Snatch, a UK gem.
Snatch is a fast moving movie with little chance to catch your breath. It moves along at lightening pace showing the dark side of Londons criminal underworld at it's worst. It is a humourous film and one which will please anyone who saw Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
The dialogue is distinctly English and so it will be hard for some to follow easily. Brad Pitts broad Gypsy (Irish?)accent was so authentic I even found it hard to catch all his words. North American residents may struggle at times with this and may actually have to resort to subtitles.
To sum up.The movie is in the classic Guy Ritchie mould . He seems to have picked up on Tarrantinos thirst for blood in most every scene. However, even the violent scenes are all done very well and with the humourous dialogue it still manages to make you laugh. The cast all work well together in their respective roles.
I would not hesitate to recommend this movie but anyone who does not like the F word or to see too much blood should maybe try something else.

FUNNY, SCARY, UNIQUE GUY RITCHIE FILM
This is one of those movies that I've watched over and over again. I was never a big Guy Ritchie fan until I watched Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The fact that Brad Pitt was in this one was also a plus. Brad Pitt is once again a genius. He plays an Irishish (such a word?) gypsy who is also a bare knuckle boxer. This movie is a fast moving story which keeps you riveted to the seat as people are shot, fed to pigs, and the two main characters, Turkish and Tommy are hysterical! The humor in this movie is so dry. I fully recommend this movie and I don't want to say anymore because I don't want to give away the story. You MUST see it.


The Quintessential Gangster Movie for the GenX/Y/MTV Generation
Let me just start off by saying that this is my favorite movie of all time, and I am a 31 year old woman, and not a 14 year old boy obsessed with guns and gangsters. I first watched this movie on a lark, curious about Madonna's new (then) boyfriend's purported directing talent. Guy Ritchie completely blew me away with this. Smart, slick, and stylish, this movie is absolutely amazing. Everything about this movie delivers. The fast paced storyline, the amazing ensemble cast, the great soundtrack, and the didn't-quite-see-that-coming ending all amount to an incredibly entertaining ride.

The real stars of this movie are, of course, the stars, most of whom worked on this movie for virtually nothing. Brad Pitt, Benicio Del Toro, Dennis Farina, Alan Ford, and the then relatively unknown Jason Statham, all bring their A-game without overpower the contributions of any of the other actors.

I would recommend watching this with both the English and Pikey subtitles the first time around. If you love it and then wish to watch it again, you should be fine to go without the subtitles going forward. I have probably seen this movie about 25 times and imagine many more viewings in the future. If you like this movie, I would also recommend checking out Guy Ritchie's first feature film "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" which features many of the same British actors as well as Sting (I think that Sting's wife, Trudie Styler, was one of the producers for "Snatch" and that both she and Sting thought that Guy and Madonna would be perfect for one another, introducing them at a dinner at their Italian villa). "Lock" is very similar to "Snatch" but just not quite as slick or polished.

It's too bad Madonna ruined Guy. Any talent that he has, or may have had, seems to have been crushed under to unbelievable weight of her own stardom and career.
