Unscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookmakers, a Russian gangster, incompetent amateur robbers, and supposedly Jewish jewelers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond.
Rating:9/10 Snatch is a fantastic and highly intelligent movie. The characters is very colorful and well written. The dialogue is hilarious. The camera work is so well done and amazing. Jason Statham as Turkish really delivers. This guy is a high caliber actor who I have never seen make a bad movie. The same could be said with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is one of the best actors of our time and he has no problem doing the characters he portrays. I've always been a fan of Brad Pitt, but this is his most convincing character portrayal I have ever seen. Vinnie Jones was quite good as his role. This guy always plays the tough and he always does a great job, not just because he is big and intimidating(he sure is), but he is also a quality actor. Guy Ritchie does not waste any film here. He gets the most out of everything he can and uses it to the best of its ability. The fight scenes are hard to turn away from as the slowmotion and regular speed camera work for the fight scenes are superb. What really stands out in this movie though above anything, is the two pawnshop owners, their getaway driver and the dog. There is a laugh every scene involving those foursome. This movie is so entertaining I couldn't see anyoen not liking this.
