Another masterpiece from Guy Ritchie
Highly talented writer/director Guy Ritchie delivers another masterpiece with Snatch, that equals the sheer quality and genius of his other masterpiece, Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrells. Once again the film is edgy with vast undertones of dark, gritty realism centering on the underworld but refreshingly encapsulates a darkly humorous side to it making the film have an even balance and therefore making it more enjoyable and entertaining in the process. The film has a host of subplots all shrewdly linked to the main storyline and a wealth of characters including a couple of likeley Cockney lads who are two novice unlicensed boxing promotors, Turkish (Jason Statham) and Tommy (Stephen Graham), fellow boxing promotor Brick Top (Alan Ford), Mickey O'Neil played by Brad Pitt as an Irish gypsy who gets roped into the boxing match where his opposition is rigged to win, Avi (Dennis Farina) as the man due to deliver a stolen 86 carat diamond and Bullet Tooth Villain (Vinnie Jones) who Avi hires to trace the diamond after he is robbed. The characters and performances are superb and vastly convincing, the host of plots are well-structured and the attutude-laced dialogue rides along like a roller coaster. Snatch on the whole is an utterly compelling film that will grip your attention and not let it go until the film is completed. Essential viewing and the extra features on this DVD are an added bonus. Highly recommended!

Now this is a cool movie!
I bought the Snatch DVD without knowing what to expect. I had read mixed reviews for it, so I was a little concerned that I wouldn't enjoy it. But my worries were all for nothing. Snatch is an incredible movie. A great plot, amazing characters, and spectacular performances make this one of the best films I've ever seen. Brad Pitt, Rade Sherbadgia, Jason Statham, and Alan Ford give the four best performances as the almost intelligible gypsy bare knuckle boxer Mickey, the crooked Russian gun salesman Boris the Blade, boxing promoter Turkish, and ruthless gangster Brick Top, respectively. And the characters of Vinny, Sol, and Tyrone (the actors names fail me at the moment) will have you laughing constantly. The DVD has some pretty good special features, including some sweet deleted scenes. If you're a fan of cinema in general, buy Snatch. You won't be disappointed.

DVD extras information for Snatch:
This movie comes with two discs, the second being the special feature disc. It is loaded with tons of special features and just as many easter eggs. Features include: "Making Snatch", storyboard comparisons, deleted scenes, video photo gallery, TV spots, theatrical trailers, direct link to "Snatch" website, and filmographies for many main characters. "Making Snatch" is a 24 minute featurette that includes behind the scenes interviews with some of the actors and staff. There are only five or six deleted scenes available, and they are not very entertaining...there is a feature on the first disc called "Stealing Stones" where you can watch the movie, and when the diamond pops up on the screen you can press enter to see where the deleted scene should have been.

One of the neatest things I saw was the video photo gallery; it has tons of behind the scenes photos. The TV spots are the previews that we saw on television before the movie came out in theatres; there are two of those.

Now for the easter eggs. The first is located on the second disc, first menu, go to the > arrow, and press up on the remote control, you should see an ! on the screen somewhere, press enter to see a short compilation of just about every time the characters say "****" during the movie.

For another easter egg, get to the second menu on the second disc. Find the < arrow and press up on your remote, you should see "1" somewhere on your screen, press enter, and watch a short compilation of some quotes from the movie.

The other easter eggs are on the second disc, in the filmographies section. Select an actor to see his filmography, use the up arrow on your remote to see if there is an easter egg for him... if there is, you should see a diamond appear on his picture. Press enter to see a short interview with Guy Ritchie on the selected actor. This only works on 2 or three of the actors, and it also works on Guy Ritchie's filmography, and he talks about the movie.
