Snatch. is Guy Ritchie's attempt to follow up on the movie which made him a director name; Lock ,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It's molded in the very same way. Several groups of different gangsters, aspiring gangsters and other shady groupings, all crossing paths because of a common goal. There's three main differences this time around.
Firstly he's got a lot more famous actors on this movie, as Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, Vinny Jones and Benicio Del Toro are amongst those playing characters getting a lot of screen time. Secondly we now feel like we've seen this all before, and thirdly this isn't even close to being as good a story as the before mention one.
There's still some cool gangsters, some sick dialogue, robberies and cold blooded murder, but it's not as stylish, fluent and fresh as needed. Several parts of the story feels forced, some of the ways to deliver the story is also less than enjoyable and it's no doubt annoying having to really listen to figure out what the hell Brad Pitt's Irish gypsy character is saying with that silly accent.
