Editorial Reviews

Riffing off a multitude of caper films that had come before it, Guy Ritchie's second film, Snatch, manages to stay afloat and tread new territory of its own. As in Ritchie's first outing as a director, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Snatch's strong points are its excellent ensemble cast; the cool, sharp, and very funny working-class London vernacular of its script; and the film's hyperkinetic, in-your-face style. What could easily have been its downfall -- MTV- and advertising-styled video techniques -- becomes in many ways the film's strongest element. Though occasionally a bit too slick for its own good, the film's imagery does help enhance and raise itself above its otherwise moribund genre. The performances are all great, especially Brad Pitt's role as an unintelligible Irish traveler. He almost single handedly steals the show. The film also contains arguably one of the best fight scenes since Scorsese's classic Raging Bull (1980).
