DVD Reviews of Snatch (Special Edition)
DVD Review: Good Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a funny, entertaining, and originially fresh little trip. Snatch is one of those films that reminds us what watching movies is all about.DVD Review: Wants to be like "Lock, Stock..." but isn't
Summary: 2 Stars
After the huge (and much deserved) success of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", Guy Richie must have practically been begged to replicate it on a bigger budget and with big-name actors. The resulting movie, "Snatch", although just as successful, if not more so, than its forerunner, however, just isn't quite up to the standard set by Richie's first film.
The greatest strength of "Lock, Stock..." was its script. Richie's many stories of British lowlifes neatly intersected to produce one of the most memorable endings of all time. Richie clearly tried to write a similar script with "Snatch" and he succeeds to a certain degree - the multiple storylines are present and they do intersect to form a satisfactory ending, but the plot of "Snatch" (which centres around a diamond heist and illegal boxing games) is more convoluted than that of "Lock, Stock..." (there are too many storylines, which make the film difficult to follow at times) and the storylines don't tie in quite as neatly. While I still remembered the ending of "Lock, Stock..." over 10 years after I first saw it, I am having difficulties remembering the details of the ending of "Snatch" two days after watching it.
"Snatch" is not a bad film and it contains some very funny stand-alone scenes. The cast is fantastic, although perhaps the film could have benefited from containing fewer big-name actors, since very few of the "stars" get the opportunity to shine, and in many ways Brad Pitt's character feels like a carry over from his previous movie, "Fight Club" (whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is up to you). Nevertheless, I hesitate to recommend this film. If you happen to find it showing one night on late-night television, then it might be worth giving it a try, but it's definitely not an "essential" movie.

Summary: 4 Stars
It's quintessential Guy Ritchie. A plot that has so many sub-plots you almost loose track but somehow it all holds together and works. The English accents can be hard to understand and the Gypsy accents are impossible. But it just adds to the hilarious mayhem of the plot (Ritchie's specialty). Good story. The entire cast is terrific and Brad Pitt is at his best in this kind of character acting. Good directing. I don't ask for any more than that in an escapist flick. This is a good one.DVD Review: A complex plot of diamond heists and illegal boxing unfolds in London's seedy sectors
Summary: 3 Stars
Guy Ritchie's 2001 film SNATCH intertwines two separate plots among the London criminal underworld. In the first Turkish (Jason Statham) is an unlicensed boxing promoter, trying to ensure his fights for the gangster Brick Top (Alan Ford) stayed fixed, in spite of the capricious nature of his boxer Mickey (Brad Pitt). In the second, a diamond stolen by the thief Franky Four Fingers (Benicio del Toro) is sought by the former Uzbek KGB agent Boris the Blade (Rade Serbedzija), the American jeweler Avi (Dennis Farina), and local pawn shop owner Solomon (Lennie James). The strands are pulled together by plenty of shootouts and some savage animals being set upon some poor victim.
In its varied cast of characters, all up to no good, and in its intertwining of separate plots SNATCH is like Ritchie's earlier film LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS writ large. Nonetheless, its action is sufficiently different that it doesn't feel like a repeat. Brad Pitt turns in an admirable performance as an Irish Traveler, with a convincing command of this group's peculiar English accent and sense of humor. I found the film's soundtrack often grating, however, and the lack of any female presence was glaring. All in all, it's an entertaining film, if not especially deep.
Description of Snatch (Special Edition)
A diamond heist gone haywire launches gangsters bookies and a dog on a rollicking ride through the rugged world of bare-knuckle boxing in search of the missing stone. Special features: subtitles in english and french: deleted scenes: storyboard comparisons: video photo gallery and much more. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 07/22/2008 Starring: Brad Pitt Dennis Farina Run time: 103 minutes Rating: R Director: Guy RitchieUsually it might seem a tad unfair to begin a review by referring to the director's missis. But then the missis in question wouldn't usually be Madonna--a woman whose ability to reinvent herself several times before breakfast seems in marked contrast to that of hubby Guy Ritchie. Certainly, this follow-up to the filmmaker's breakthrough film--the high-energy, expletive-strewn cockney-gangster movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels--hardly breaks new ground being, well, another high-energy, expletive-strewn cockney-gangster movie. OK, so there are some differences. This time around our low-rent hoodlums are battling over dodgy fights and stolen diamonds rather than dodgy card games and stolen drugs. There has been some minor reshuffling of the cast too, with Sting and Dexter Fletcher making way for the more bankable Benicio Del Toro and Brad Pitt, the latter pretty much stealing the whole shebang as an incomprehensible Irish gypsy. And, sure, people who really, really liked Lock, Stock--or have the memory of a goldfish--will really, really like this. The suspicion lingers, however, that if the director doesn't do something very different next time around then his career may prove to be considerably shorter than that of his missis. --Clark Collis
