Snatch [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray]

Director: Guy Ritchie Guy Ritchie

Overview

Guy Ritchie's sophomore follow-up to his 1998 sleeper hit Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch revisits the previous film's territory of London's crime-ridden underbelly, and does so with the same brand of humor and stylish direction that made Ritchie's first effort a surprise success. With a labyrinthine plot that is ostensibly oriented around a missing diamond, Snatch introduces viewers to three groups of characters intent on retrieving the elusive stone, which has been stolen from an Antwerp jeweler. In the first group are friends and business partners Turkish (Jason Statham, who also supplies the film's voice-over narration) and Tommy (Stephen Graham), who join up with Mickey (Brad Pitt), an Irish gypsy and boxer. Turkish and Tommy make arrangements with Mickey to take a fall in a match engineered by lunatic gang leader Brick Top (Alan Ford). In another corner resides equally loony Russian gangster Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia), who has asked Jewish gangster Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) to place a bet on the match for him. Boris is also scheming to have Sol (Lennie James), the owner of a pawn shop, rob the place with a couple of dim associates. Meanwhile, Avi (Dennis Farina), freshly arrived in London from New York, hires Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) to find Franky when he goes missing; it seems that it was none other than Franky who was supposed to be transporting the purloined diamond to New York.

Editorial Reviews

An anarchic black comedy teeming with eccentric characters, Snatch sports a plot that's almost perversely convoluted and a pace guaranteed to make your head spin. Set in a Runyanesque London underworld, the film hurls characters and events at viewers in dizzying succession; for what it's worth, Snatch is primarily about stolen diamonds, rigged prizefights, and man-eating pigs -- but not necessarily in that order. The ensemble cast includes, among others, Benecio Del Toro as an inept jewel thief, Brad Pitt as a wandering Irish boxer, Dennis Farina as an American gangster, and Rade Sherbedgia as a Russian hit man. Two shady promoters hire Pitt to throw a fight, while Farina comes to London in search of the diamond Del Toro stole, which is also coveted by Sherbedgia, who's been hired to...well, it's impossible to synopsize this movie. But suffice to say that director Guy Ritchie has crafted it along the same surrealistic lines as his earlier success, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. He doesn't simply present scenes, he flings them at you with speed, energy, and visual pyrotechnics, virtually daring viewers to keep up with him. The bizarre inhabitants of Snatch's world bear considerable resemblance to characters from the old Dick Tracy comic strip, and their misadventures make for dazzling entertainment. The DVD edition includes a commentary by Ritchie, deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, outtakes, storyboard-to-screen comparisons, photo gallery, cast-crew interviews, and production notes.
