Lock, Stock... but Bigger and Better, 22 Aug 2002
Guy Ritchie strikes again with another cockney crime caper with a hilariously twisted plot, very much in the same vein as the fantastic Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. The main difference here is that everything is bigger, better and faster; the budget, the stars, the locations, the editing, the endlessly quotable dialogue and the music. The ball starts rolling when Franky Four Fingers (Benico Del Toro) steals a huge priceless diamond from Antwerp and brings it to London on route to New York. Cue murder, betrayl, mayhem, strong language, thievery and a dog that'll eat just about anything. Endlessly watchable and entertaining. The best British film in years. Where else are you going to see Brad Pitt and Frank Butcher in the same feature?The DVD is a corker too. Boasting many fantastic features including a commentary, deleted scenes, a documentary, interviews, trailers, TV spots, storyboard comparrisons, photo library and some absolutely hilarious hidden features.

Masterpiece-F**K the critics, 21 Jun 2004
This is Guy Ritchie's finest hour-One of the best british gangster films of all time with a magnificent ensemble cast(vinnie,brad,jason statham,dennis farina,benicio del toro,that guy out of the ribena ad..)a hilariously witty script,and ,surprisingly,top notch sound editing.(witness the brutal boxing matches)
I'm not going to waste time with the plot which is obviously the least important part of the whole film and really just an excuse for all the characters to get together,cross each other's paths etc,but I will say that Snatch is shot with an eye and understanding of the target audience that has not been so clear in gangster movies of late.excellent stuff.
the superbit DVD is the definitive version,at an unbeatable price with enhanced picture and sound quality,also.A must-buy!

"...A Blindin' British Film...", 13 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Snatch is a perfectly designed and constructed film from the one and only, Guy Ritchie. Even though many of the characters from "Lock Stock.." were used, (which to me didn't seem such a good idea) a new range of stars such as David Farina and Brad Pitt, not forgetting a more substantial role for Alan Ford, have complemented the film thanks to their acting abilities. I do not feel, however, that they were used just, what Guy Ritchie said, "to put bums on seats". As DVD have numerous special features which let you take a closer look into the minds of the crew and the actors, the movie doesn't just feel like a movie, but an experience and I have to say that this is the first film that I have watched all of the "Makings of.." and "interviews". Many observant people would have noticed that "Snatch" has been rated an 18 and this is for 2 reasons: the violence and the harsh swearing. But the prblem is that there is too much repetition of the same word which, after a while turns into just that, a word, not a curse. Overall, "Snatch" is one of the best movies that have come from the British film industry. Well done Guy Ritchie!!!!
