Snatch

Benicio Del Toro, Brad Pitt, Dean Smith, Dennis Farina, Goldie

Snatch poses a very important question: Where is the stone? This is a caper about a diamond heist gone helter-skelter, the rough-and-tumble world of bare- knuckle boxing, an unpredictable Irish gypsy ...( read more  read more... )and a dog. Double-crossing, double-bluffing and double-dealing abound as various parties pursue personal agendas-all of them illegal, some of them farcical and most of them involving an 86-carat diamond. As plans go haywire and tempers fray, dogs, diamonds, mobile homes, boxers and assorted weaponry get swept up into a chaotic free-for-all. The question is - who will emerge with the stone?

    Crazy, grisly, exuberant fun from a solid ensemble, a clever screenplay, and a well-suited director.

    Ritchie has a certain style about him when it comes to his filmmaking. He's slick where most people try to be too slick but his films have just the right amount of action and comedy to them. This one is a classic boasting a pretty impressive cast, most notably Brad Pitt as a Pike...( read more)y bareknuckles boxer and Jason Statham in a good role where he's not kicking the shit out of everybody in sight.. And Benicio Del Toro dressed as a rabbi. Is that classic? You decide!

    A film about boxing, diamonds, gangsters pretending to be Jews, a fat getaway driver, a rather vicious dog and man eating pigs. Guy Richie has followed the success of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels with an equally stunning and ambitious return just as Tarantino did with Pulp...( read more) Fiction. The characters are so colourful they jump right off the screen, the dialogue so snappy you want to learn it by heart and the acting simply wonderful. Vinnie Jones reveals he can act and Brad Pitt shows that he is far more than a pretty face and could well win a best supporting actor oscar for his role as Irish Mickey. See this movie!!!!

    It's the brilliant cast that make Snatch a great movie because it certainly isn't Guy Ritchie's irritating script and average direction!

    The release of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" in 1994 prompted a schism in the staid gangster movie genre: the standard hallmarks - serious characters, gunfights, intrigue and damsels in distress - were enhanced with snappy dialogue, and gallows humour. The biggest change however was...( read more) the introduction of the mobius strip-style plot line, where the concept of time is no longer linear, instead constantly folding in upon itself, flitting between past, present and future that forces the viewer to pay close attention lest they miss some subtle detail. Inevitably, numerous copycat films emerged that tried to capitalize on Tarantino's success, but it wasn't until 1998 when Guy Ritchie, an unknown British director, took on the challenge that a successor was found. Now Ritchie is determined to prove that his first time out wasn't a fluke.

    Turkish is a young man with an entrepreneurial bent, who, when he's not running his gambling operation, manages bareknuckle boxers. Through a business deal gone wrong, he becomes acquainted with one Mickey O'Neil, a mumbling manic motor-mouthed piker who also happens to be a one-punch marvel. Turkish persuades Mickey to join his stable of fighters, but soon discovers that Mickey has his own agenda, and gets Turkish in trouble with the gangsters who run the underground boxing circuit. Other characters that become involved in the drama include a four-fingered degenerate gambler/jewel thief, a vicious boxing promoter, a gang of inept robbers, a polite hitman, a crazed Russian gun runner, a group of Irish gypsies, a crooked New York jeweler and a pugnacious pet. The common thread binding them all is a perfect diamond the size of a peach pit. If you aren't confused yet, you soon will be.

    "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", Mr. Madonna's (Ritchie) first film, was shot on a small budget, with a no-name cast (except for football bad boy Vinnie Jones) and quickly became a rousing success at home and found receptive audiences abroad. While not a technically a sequel "Snatch" is stylistically very similar to "Lock, Stock?": Ritchie utilizes his trademark bombastic staccato sequences, and repeatedly bounces off on radical tangents to throw the viewer off balance. He did however opt for a decidedly darker satirical tone in this film, that may make some people uncomfortable (think "Very Bad Things"). What struck me as particularly daring was his decision to create a story with such a voluminous cast.

    Ritchie faced a daunting task with this film: how, with roughly twenty principal characters, does one adequately flesh out each character, and not hopelessly confuse the audience? The feat was made doubly difficult, as several cast members are big name stars. Somehow Ritchie manages - each actor is full bodied, receives ample screen time, and no one character is the centerpiece. With so many talented actors, it is difficult to pick out one performance that stands out: Rade Serbedzija is hilarious as the mad Russian who blithely burns through each of his nine lives, as is Vinnie Jones' manic gentleman hitman. On the other end of the spectrum, is Alan Ford as Brick Top, the promoter with a penchant for pigs, who epitomizes cold-blooded viciousness. If forced to pick my favorite however, I would have to go with Brad Pitt

    Pitt resurrects his trailer trash look from "Kalifornia" and adopts a nearly indecipherable brogue that sounds like my best friend's Uncle Wally on a bad day. As Mickey O'Neil, the hard drinking wily grifter and part-time pugilist, Pitt displays a wide range of emotions, demonstrating again that he is not only a star, but also a gifted character actor. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the dog that subtly stole every scene he appeared in.

    While "Snatch" initially struggles to find its stride, and is very similar to Ritchie's earlier film, it is fresh and funny enough to make you forget any minor shortfalls and stand on its own.

    Different people ''working'' for the same reason ...Some of them will give it all and have nothing at the end ,some will take part and risk their lives and some others will give up . Everybody is trying to get the stone , but just one is going to keep it!
    Deeper meaning:There is...( read more) always something to learn from somebody who you have underestimate!!!
    Favorite Quote: Anything to declare? Yeah,don't go to England!
    WARNING!
    If you are not from England , don't watch this movie without subtitles .You'll understand nothing and the reason why this will happen is because of the different dialects of english that take part in the movie.

    ONE WORD : fantastic
    SUMMERY : its the story about a boxer promoter(Jason Statham) been forced to pick brad pitt in his boxing match, and the story about a stolen diamond and ppl look after it , and how these 2 story mixed.



    MY THOUGHT: AWESOME!!!!!! is the word to describe this movie,it a perfect one. mostly u seen drama movie got highly rated but this this comedy is just fantastic. ok first of all the story is too good, there wasnt a single moment in this movie where feel boring for a second, its a fast moving movie which keeps u on the edge of u seat. Guy Ritchie did a superb job with direction and the script. its always the thing that how u present the movie and he did it very good.its is direction who makes the movie that interesting. now the performance, every single actor in this movie did justice with role, caz there are lot of character in this movie and every one had the limited time but in that time every one left his mark on the movie.all in all its one of movie that is just perfect in every department.

    Guy Ritchie doing exactly what he knows best.

    This is a typical London based gangster movie, and being a Guy Ritchie movie it is intensely fun and shocking in some scenes. Most of the Lock Stock cast return and deliver an iconic performance, Brad Pitt included.
