I know this has been said before but far too many scenes in this film were stolen from Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, Go, and the Italian Job. Remember the scene where the three guys try to rob the gangster in the bar and he remains calm and scares them away? Yeah, I liked that one better when Samuel Jackson was sitting in the diner while John Travolta was in the bathroom. Remember the part when the two guys were sitting in the car getting philisophical before committing a crime? Yeah, that was also better when Travolta and Jackson talked about the Royale w/ cheese. They even had the plot centering around a boxer for god's sake? Hello....Bruce Willis was a boxer wasn't he? Spare me people, these five star reviews are funnier than the picture.

The only reason to give this two stars is because while watching it I was reminded of happier times watching better movies. Yay Brad Pitt in another fight movie. Maybe later he'll make one with a fighting club or something similar. Hey I'm onto something there.........

This movie is the teep of the deek, as my old Columbian friend would say. Top cast, top directing, fantastic pacing. It is good enough to make you think Pitt can act! PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale

I love Jason Statham and got this movie and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" to add to my collection. While he isn't the star of the movie, he does play an interesting character. I'm not normally a fan of British films and humor, but I love these films. You'll watch them over and over again and always find something new. And you will have to watch them a few times to catch everything.

I can't say that Snatch is my favorite movie of alltime, but it's up there. It has the most perfect cast imaginable, one of the best soundtracks, and a super slick directing style that makes you wish the movie would never end. There's a lot going on in the movie, but it all comes down to everybody chasing a diamond. To be honest I hardly ever thought abotu the diamond. I was too busy laughing at all the great lines from all the great characters. Bullet Tooth Tony has to be the coolest guy alive, Brad Pitt's character can't speak a word without getting me to laugh outloud, and the rest of the characters are all extremely entertaining. Usually I would rate a movie as good if there are 1 or 2 characters I like, but Snatch has like 10.

Rating- 5/5

I have tried so many times to do a review for this movie, and I have failed once again, but this time I will let you read my rambling.

A great follow-up to "Lock/Stock". Not quite as many twists and turns, but darned close. A fine film that stands on its own, but it helps to know the history of the characters. Watch "Lock" and "Snatch" back to back and you'll be in for a filmfest treat.

Whoever said Brad Pitt was just a pretty boy? Here he shows a mastery of comic timing. Every word that comes out of his mouth is totally incoherent. Marvelous! This film has "Pulp Fiction" stamped all over it. They sell the screenplay to "Pulp Fiction" in the classics sections of bookstores in England, believing it comparable to "Bleak House" and "Macbeth." This film was made in the shadow of Tarantino's enormous influence on the Brits who love the antics of down and outers. It has many wonderful bits, combining a kind of Scorsese brutality with a Marx Brothers hilarity. It doesn't quite match its model for invention or genius but it is a lot of fun. It also has the virtue of being politically incorrect and is a tad less romantic than Tarantino's picture, which I remember as cloyingly optimistic. There's been a string of these goofy gangster flicks lately coming out of the UK, all with small-picture scope, but with big-movie acting. All one can do is hope for more.

You don't see many movies like Snatch. There really isn't a genre to put this in. There is so much going on at one time, yet its never confusing. Plus, there are quite a few important characters to keep track of, and they all have their own proper place in this film. Even with 1 less actor, it would seem incomplete. This movie flows perfectly. Basically, the plot sort of revolves around a large diamond. Its not necessarily a heist film. Nor is it a 100% comedy, though, you gotte love that British humour. And no, Brad Pitt isn't a main character, however, he is a great, essential character. There are actually quite a few different nationalities in this film. Its all very interesting, how all the characters interact with one another, bantering, or threatening each other. Its alot of fun. The movie has a great soundtrack as well that really adds to the mood of the film. Its really an impressive film that would appeal to many people.

This is a classic that should be apart of anyones libary of DVD's. Must buy and great price...

I beleive Brad Pit is at his Best in this Movie.n The entire cast is Great.
I would Recommend this movie to my friends.

Certainly this film had a workable and even interesting script, a tale of British underworld boxing and jewel theft. Where "Snatch" fails, is the directors apparent belief that each and every character in the film is interesting or as important as the next, and in the films opening, we are "treated" to an introduction to the players complete with Fox News like "swwoooosssh" effects and title overlays.There are plenty of jump-effects and quick-zooms, techniques that have been played out in these type of genres. Just because you have that "spice in the cupboard", does it mean you really have to use it??

Unbelievable also is Brad Pitt. His role is an Irish gypsy with indecipherable speech and slang is comical, but as an underground boxing champ who rings the bells of much larger opponents, he just doesn't have the size or look of someone who could succeed in the ring.

As an unapologetic Yank, the very British nature of this film is also a turnoff. Even if you liked as I did other U.K crime films ( the original "Get Carter". "Longest Day" etc.), Snatch is very Brit-centric and Euro-flavored, and some terminology used in the film requires more thinking on the part of this viewer than I want to do while watching what is suppossed to be entertainment.

Totally worth owning - watched it a number of times over the years still funny!

Violence, money, violence, violence, and cockneys. Hilarious. One of the best movies of all time. You know something is really funny when you literally fall about laughing, can't stop laughing, and feel like you've strained your lungs laughing. This movie is brilliant. Smashing. Ace. Mint. Bloody incredible. If I could change one thing tho, I'd get rid of that sep git Brad Pit. Other than that... incredible.

I still have not received the two movies I ordered on Nov. 4.
It is now Dec. 7th. I'm not very happy with your service/delivery...

Well what can I say, Snatch is one of my favorite movies of all time the reason why I say this is because its the type of film that you can watch on numerous occasions without being bored. Guy Ritchie who wrote and directed this film is definitely talented you can tell from the hilarious and witty dialogue and the way he uses the characters is just fantastic even though they are a bit cliche they are still memorable especially Turkish played by Jason Statham and Dennis Farina as cousin Avi from the U.S. you also have gangsters with names like Brick Top, Freddy Four Fingers and Boris the Blade a trigger happy Russian gangster that just won't die as you will see in a hilarious scene. Brad Pitt also stars in the film as Mickey a pykie or gypsy boxer and he was quite good especially with his accent and I liked how the boxing match was shot and edited very nice technique. The film was a classic British gangster film with lots of great dark humor in it, some people might say it was a tarantino rip off but so what at least it was an excellent and enjoyable film with a clever plot, I highly recommend this.

I bought this movie as a gift for my fiance. We watched it together. It was my first time and his . . . well, I don't know how many times he'd already seen it but he loves this movie. I thought it was a lot of fun. The way the story unfolds and the cinematography compliment one another perfectly. You won't come away intellectually stimulated or spiritually enlightened but in the end it's a fun film to watch and one I'd enjoy watching again.

Just watched "Snatch" again last night only a few days after hooting over unanimously negative reviews of "Swept Away", director Guy Ritchie's crap vehicle for his wife. Man I hope that boy's career isn't ruined. "Snatch" and it's predecessor "Lock, Stock..." were the two best English Tarantino inspired crime films.
Brad Pitt's transformation into a tattooed, Irish "pikey" ( gypsy ) is the highlight of the film. The DVD includes subtitles when Pitt and his gypsy brothers speak their unintelligible dialogue, which is simply wonderful. "Do ya like degs?" Englishman, "Heh?" "Do ye like degs!?" "Oh dogs. Yeah, I like dogs." Good stuff indeed.
The slow-mo fight scenes with Pitt's character are almost as good as the fight scenes in "Raging Bull" which says a lot.
Guy, we loved you when you made "Lock, Stock..." and "Snatch". We understand you were p-ssy whipped when you made "Swept Away". ( It should have been swept under a rug. ) Come on back and thrill us again. We miss you.

This is one of those movies I can watch time and again, and never grow tired of it. Guy Richie's editing style is genius, the way he cuts from one scene to another. This is SO funny, it's hard to even feel bad watching Frankie Four Fingers pistol-whipping the beejezus out of a London jeweler in the attempt to uncover the old man's stash...awful as that sounds! Despite a cast replete with big name stars and characters with names like Bullet-tooth Tony, Bricktop, and Boris the Blade, Jason Statham's character, Turkish, OWNS this movie and it just does your heart good to see the bad guys get THEIRS in the end. A positively BRILLIANT British comedy at least as much as anything else, it is laced with action and really cool gripping twists and one-liners throughout. Easily well worth the money and the time!

Ritchie hits another homer with this one. His unique cinematography, cutting, and balls-out style works perfectly here. If you like Lock, Stock, you'll like this.
Rather violent, but Ritchie has a gift for making violence seem entertaining in an odd way, and I'm no fan of violence in general.
Some truly funny characters and lines. Pitt is quite humorous; love the accent.
Helps if you know London and its hooligans, but if not, you'll learn about them here.
Compare this to most modern Hollywood shoot-em-ups and it becomes clear how much better films can be if someone with vision is making them.
Especially if he has a sense of humor.

Director Guy Ritchie returns to London's mean streets, rife again with characters such as Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) and Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro). Several interlocking plots revolve around a scramble for a stolen 86-karat diamond, an attempt to fix a boxing match and ... pigs. Brad Pitt is a standout as a bare-knuckles fighter who speaks a gypsy dialect nobody understands.

This movie is a fast-paced, fun movie. If you have watched Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (Widescreen Edition) and liked it, you will enjoy this movie.

Guy Ritchie's kinetic, ultra-stylish heist film is an amalgam of all the best caper films, rolled out with a punk attitude and bristling Cockney accent. The plot is outrageous but loads of fun (wait until a certain dog swallows a squeaky toy), and the ensemble cast--Statham, Graham, Del Toro, Ford, and Serbedzija--may not all be household names, but their cocky, fiercely funny performances will stay etched in your mind. Nearly stealing the show is Pitt, playing a crooked bruiser whose Gaelic brogue is hilariously incomprehensible to everyone. "Snatch" this punchy, black-humored romp through London's criminal underbelly--before someone else does.

What a follow-up to "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels!" It's the closest thing to a sequel without being one. Some say that "Snatch" is a poor follow up of Ritchie's first film, I say that this is an improvement on his signature style, an aggressive and a supercharged 21-gun salute to Britain film/filmmakers. The deftness displayed in this writer/director's pacing and editing is at times electrifying and sometimes simply beautiful. The soundtrack is not only superb and includes one of my personal favorite bands, Oasis, and is used to great comic effect as an poignant accompaniment to certain scenes.



In the vein of Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, and Fight Club, Snatch is a gritty dance with the criminal element, revolving around a stolen 86-karat diamond that any good crook would give his right arm for. (And in one case, I mean that literally.)After a boggling series of double-crosses, triple-crosses, and multi-crosses, Snatch becomes a game of who will end up with the gem -- and how will they get it? Ritchie keeps us guessing at every turn, with Russians hiring mercenary crooks to steal the jewel, hit men sent to kill the mercenaries, mobsters trying to outwit the hit men, Jewish jewelers scheming to undermine the mobsters, a crazed bare-knuckled boxer looking for his payday despite the chaos, and one dog who's lost his bark.



And every one of these stories is hilarious.



Vinnie Jones as Bullet Tooth Tony, a hunter/assassin who chills his prey with deadly stares; Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) is caught-in-the-middle robber/gambling addict; Dennis Farina, a stressed jeweler who can never catch a break; or any of two dozen other apt actors who fully own their roles. In the end, though, you have to give a hand to Brad Pitt, still buff from Fight Club, as a slur-mouthed Gypsy boxer who always manages to get one step ahead of the crowd.



"Snatch" is great. There are some funny lines, and some of the violence is quite inventive. Several times in this movie I was reminded of the "strange occurrences" theme seen in Magnolia. I wholeheartedly recommend this film if you haven't already snatch it.

Guy Ritche slid this one out a few years ago, and I missed it. A good cast including Jason Statham plays Turkish (the transporter, Crank) and Brad Pitt as mickey,the bare knuckle gypsy boxer. Essentially an Action Comedy. Turkish, a unlicenced boxing promoter, narrates the story as it revolves around and 84 carrot Diamond, and what eventually turns out to be a stuggle to try and save his own hide from Brick top, the underground promoter that "tells you what will happen". Its intriguing how thing and paths finally entertwine. Must see. If you like Lock, stock and two smoking barrels, this one I believe is better. And if You like Jason Statham, this movie is good as well. A good movie for any collection.

A very funny movie with an amazing Brad Pitt as a Gipsy boxing champ. The storyline is great, and the movie never had a dull moment. The director keeps your attention by leading the audience through the story with video clip styled movie scenes. The actors themselves play accordingly, so after watching the movie you'll end up with a big smile on your face.

not a fan of leaving long detailed reviews but this movie is pretty much awesome from beginning to end...Def check it out!

I was upset that I wasted my money on this film. The film is extremely overrated. At best it should have only gotten 3 stars. I do not see what there is to like about this film. It was not funny, the plot was stupid, everybody's running around trying to find a diamond and the movie just ends so abruptly, not a comfortable ending at all. If you have never seen this film I highly suggest that you rent it before you buy it.

A few weeks ago I looked at Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), and I was pleasantly surprised with what a good movie it was. So how could I resist picking up 2000's loosely tied in follow-on Snatch (aka Lock, Stock and Six Stolen Diamonds)?

In Snatch, several of the actors are back from "Lock, Stock", but all playing unrelated characters along side Brad Pitt. The first few minutes of Snatch looked like it was going to be a cash-in imitation of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but Snatch quickly developed its own story and characters.

Both "Lock, Stock" and Snatch are stylistically similar presentation-wise in a Pulp Fiction (1994) kind of way: Characters involved with various criminal activity are unaware of each other's presence throughout most of the movie, but then they are ultimately all connected by the closing credits.

There is a lot of violence seasoned with a good amount of black comedy. The acting is great. Ritchie is a master at getting a realistic reaction out of his cast...not just to situations and shocking acts of violence, but to people. The way the cast reacts to Brad Pitt's character is as believable as it is priceless.

Brad Pitt does a great job in this movie. I've seen a lot of criticism about Pitt's acting abilities, but I've got to say that I am mostly impressed with the roles that I've seen him in. And his character in Snatch, due to how well he played it, will stand out in my mind for a long time.

Jason Statham is as good as ever too. Like Samuel L. Jackson, Statham always seems to be the same guy in all of the movies he's in...same persona. And it just works every time.

Looking for a blast from the past with good actors, good action and a good story? Look no further. Here it is. Snatch may not be a collector's item, but it's worth the price.

And check out Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels too if you've not done so already.

This movie shares the same fast-action feel as Lock Stock, but tells a different story. It's all about the capers and blunders and the good guys getting out on top. All of the extra budget is noticed with sharper video and A-List actors, but still has the heart of Lock Stock. This movie is within my top 5.

Another action-filled Guy Richie flick set in England and starring the lower class. Brad Pitt makes a particularly amazing showing as a gypsy. Like "Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels," this movie is full of cinematography that makes me catch my breath and stare in amazement, as well as terrific dialogue and wonderful characters. Fans of the ultra-violent should enjoy this one as well as those who just enjoy a great action flick!

A fast, witty, not-your-run-of-the-mill dark comedy. If you view yourself as an intellect with a snappy, off beat sense of humour: this is the flick for you!

THis movie ranges with violence, great storyline and just some unique humor. The acents and the plot is just wonderful. Buy It

This movie is a perfect example of the quality movies Brad Pitt was involved in during the late 90s/early 00s. The humor is fantastic and the characters are perfect.

I had (notice the past tense) a girlfriend who loved this movie and brought it over one night for us to watch. The way she described it made me really want to see it. Unfortunately, her sales skills far surpassed anything the movie had to offer. I was under the impression that this was a comedy - and I really enjoy comedies - but the comedic moments were few and very far between.

Part of the fault for the sad overall outcome of this movie must lie with the editor. The movie could have flowed far better, been easier to follow, and been funnier with proper editing.

One of the best movies I may have watched...the movie has several humorous lines and caused me to laugh out loud many times. The movie is pretty violent but it didnt bother me to much. I love the many eccentric characters especially Mickey played by Brad Pitt. Themany stroyline were beautifully woven together for an amazing climax.

Great movie Brad Pit Play's a great part nice to see big name actors in lower budget movies : )
