Of the ensemble, only Pitt truly shows his class, delivering an amusing yet emotive performance amongst a group of actors who -- at best -- are pandering to laddish culture.

Consensus: This movie is very similar in plot, style, and characters to Guy Richie's previous work, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. However, Snatch stands on its own as stylish, plot-twisting, frenetic entertainment. Also, Brad Pitt puts in a very good performance.
Theatrical Release: Jan 19, 2001 Wide
Box Office: $30,093,107
Synopsis: A diamond heist gone helter-skelter, the rough and tumble world of bare knuckle boxing, a colorful Irish gypsy and...a dog. Writer-director Guy Ritchie’s highly anticipated Snatch is a rollicking ride through London’s gangster world,... [More]

Reviews for Snatch
Top Critic Ritchie may be skilled at generating controlled chaos, but his surprise-a-minute strategy ultimately holds no surprises.

Top Critic
It's a twisting, witty, and wise crime-boxing story about the hunt for a huge diamond and a prizefighter who can't take a fall.
05/26/06
Ritchie's follow-up to Lock, Stock is an even more craftily concocted underworld entertainment, helped no end by the casting of Pitt as the bare-knuckle boxer Mickey.
02/09/06
...an ideal follow-up to writer/director Guy Ritchie's debut effort, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
01/15/06
Snatch is a full-throttle comedic crime caper that more than resembles Lock, Stock... yet remains a rollicking good time in its own right.

Madonna's husband is a dervish in the editing room, and he's not ashamed to have nicked most of the conventions of American noir.
01/29/05
Fortunately, the drop in entertainment value from one Ritchie film to the next isn’t as steep as the drop in originality.
01/10/05
It's rather like the favorite pastime of this movie's villain ... throwing wild dogs into a pit and watching them fight until there's only one left standing.
12/06/04
This is a swift, sharp picture that pleases the senses on all levels, ranging from the visual to the aural, the linguistic, and yes even the intellectual.
02/10/04
There's just not a lot of fun to be had here. The plot is too convoluted, too filled with double-reversals and twists for us to turn our brains off, relax and watch Guy Ritchie's kinetic visual style.
05/22/03
Snatch, while somewhat hard to follow, represents a fascinating study in character interaction and complex plot development.
02/08/03
Top Critic What we have here is a gaudy mess. At times it feels like it's being made up as it goes along.
12/02/02
Writer-director Guy Ritchie might as well have added subtitles saying, 'Take that, Quentin Tarantino!'
10/15/02
This may be one of the hazardous offshoots of the music-video-trained generation of moviemakers; they confuse a diet of eye candy with a full meal.
09/26/02
Top Critic All the Tarantino trademarks, basically, except that it's not nearly as enjoyable, inventive or clever.
09/10/02
Ritchie's command of the visual medium is so skillful, his criminals so memorable and his writing so undeniably entertaining, that it's a wasted criticism to try and intellectually dissect [his] movies.
09/07/02
A twisty, fun and high energy, if not particularly groundbreaking... de facto sequel to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
09/04/02
Most of the people we meet have names like Boris the Blade, Gorgeous George or Doug the Head; as you might suspect, none of them are likely to be found taking high tea at Harrods.
