Guy Ritchie writes and directs this post-Tarantino struggle for an 84 carat diamond doing rounds among London's low lives and some American imports.
This brilliantly entertaining movie is a valid successor for Mr. Ritchie's Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels. A more approachable and easier to follow, Snatch is hilarious at times and shockingly violent at others. A cast that has most of the gems from Lock Stock in addition to an excellent performance by Brad Pitt as a gypsy bare-knuckle boxer.
Some of the jokes are old and all in all the film is not quite as intriguing as Lock Stock and lacks that energy but that is probably not a fair comparison.
Do watch this movie -- it is indeed a treat.
