Snatch is basically the story of Turkish and Tommy, two illegal boxing promoters who get caught up in the world of underworld figure Brick Top, when their bare knuckle boxer Gorgeous George is incapacitaded by One Punch Mickey, over a caravan. Now short of a boxer, and seriously in debt to Brick Top, the boys arrange to have Mickey take his place, but Mickey is not going to throw a fight the way they had planned, wich basically complicates things for the boys.
It also features a bunch of pawn shop owners trying to snatch a diamond stolen by Frankie Four Fingers. Unfortunately, the precious jewel is also wanted by Cousin Avi, Doug the Head, Bullet Tooth Tony and Boris the Blade.
Filled with tea drinking motherfuckers, a jewish gangsters with a penchant for gambling, a gypsy boxer with the ego of Jake La Motta and an endless row of brilliant one-liners, I doubt you'll see a more entertaining movie this year.
Investigation finished: 2001-01-12
Story: 9/10 - A breath of fresh air, don't expect a sequel to "Lock, stock" and you're in for a funky old time.
Acting: 9/10 - Giving Brad Pitt a dialog that no one understands is a stroke of genious, and Vinnie Jones is once again excellent (keep it up, Vinnie!).
Violence: 5/10 - Brains are blown out, hands are chopped off and dead bodies are fed to pigs, but thankfully it's all off-screen.
Nudity: 1/10 - This film does not waste time with unimportant things like... well, women. But that deck of cards looked slightly familiar, hmm.
Coolness: 10/10 - YES! This movie is cool as a motherfucker.
...a litle something from our surveilance?
