"If it's stones and it's stolen, Doug's the man to talk to."
When Guy Ritchie (more famous for being married to Madonna than a filmaker)made Lock, Stock in 1998 he left us wanting more of Guy's unique story-telling and original talent."Snatch" is more of the same and not much more.With lines like, "I thought you said he was a getaway driver.What the fu** can he get away from?" And "You know, London...fish and chips, cup o' tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fu**in' Poppins...London," make it an absolute CLASSIC of a film.Not to mention a great cast including Brad Pitt, Benicio Del Toro, Vinnie Jones, Mike Reid, Dennis Farina & Jason Statham.A great story, comedy and brutal violence.

The story follows "Franky Four Fingers" (Benicio Del Toro) who steals a diamond with 3 other goons in Antwerp.Franky visits dodgy ex-KGB Russian, "Boris The Blade" (Rade Sherbedgia)to buy a guy.Franky buys one, but in return Boris asks for him to place a bet at a bookies instead of cash.So he does.
Boris then pays a visit to 2 small-time pawnbrokers , "Sol" & "Vinny" to hold-up the bookies and rob Franky's diamond for 50 grand's work.Sol & Vinny get "Tyrone" their getaway driver involved.
Sol & gang rob the bookies and get away with Frank and his diamond (the diamond's in a case attached to Franky's arm).
"Tommy" (Stephen Graham) & "Turkish" (Jason Statham) are partners in the world in boxing promoters.Tommy & Gorgeous George(friend and tough guy) visit some "Pikeys" (Irish gypsies) to buy a caravan for an office.The Pikeys are lead by "One Punch Mikey" (Brad Pitt).The caravan's wheels fall off, the Pikeys refuse to give them their money back, but instead Mickey challenges George for a fight to decide who gets the caravan.Mickey surprisingly beats George with one punch and puts him in a critical state.It turns out Mickey is a bare-knuckle boxing champion.This leaves Tommy & Turkish with no fighter, they decide to use Mickey, but will "Brick Top", their boss mind?
Brick Top runs an illegal bookies (yes, the one that Sol & gang robbed).Brick Top uses Mickey but states clearly that he has to get knocked out in the 4th round.Bric Top sets out to find out who robbed his bookies.
Everything gets complicated after this, "Avi" & "Doug The Head" who are cousins, and friends of Franky set out to look for him after he doesn't show up for a meeting.They get they help of "Bullet Tooth Tony" (Vinnie Jones) to help.
This film is truely entertaing.Not as original as Lock, Stock but still a winner.I think film critics didn't give this good reviews because it doesn't live up to the expectations of Lock, Stock.However, get your hands on this film and I guarantee you will enjoy it!

Where's the snatch?
I thought from the title that this was a XXX porno flick. Silly me. Brad Pitt still spends the entire movie talking like he's got a tampon stuffed in each cheek (sort of like the cotton wads Marlon Brando used in The Godfather). Is this the way these people really talk? And I thought I had a speech impediment. I should start auditioning for parts in movies about Irish gypsies. Still, this was a pretty good flick and I'd actually give it 4.5 stars if I could. Big Bubba says go see it and don't Bogart the popcorn.

One of the best movies I have ever seen.
'Snatch' is a great, great film. It is very well directed by Guy Ritchie and full of some interesting characters. From the character introduction to the 'pieces fall together' end, writer director Guy Ritchie does a wonderful job. Although we could have seen more of wonderful Benicio Del Toro, the cast was wonderful. Vinnie Jones was great as Bullet Tooth Tony, Denis Farina did a wonderful job as Cousin Avi, Rade Sherbedgia was superb as Boris the Blade, Alan Ford was VERY evil as Brick Top, and Brad Pitt was hysterical as the unforgetable One Punch Mickey. The movie made me laugh and struck several emotions all while giving a general feel of cool. Some of the more emotional scenes were Gorgeous George's knockout and the caravan burn. One of my favorite scenes of all time is the final fight where Mickey goes underwater. I can only hope that the Guy Ritchie can out-do himself in his next film.

The DVD is great, too. With a hilarious and insighting commentary track by Guy Ritchie and producer Matt Vaughn. The sound and picture are crystal clear, and the "Making Snatch" featurette is one of the best behind-the-scenes documentaries I've seen (a lot of work seemed to go into it). The deleted scenes and trailers from other films are an added bonus. Also, unlike Terminator 2, you don't need a DVD-ROM to check out the storyboard comparisons. Plus, the Pikey subtitles really help.
