This classic British gangster comedy is just the type of film Quentin Tarantino might have made if he had been born and raised in London's East End but Guy Ritchie's "Snatch" is a lot funnier than anything Tarantino has given us and it's got one of the best casts, as well as one of the daftest, yet most original, plots of any 'heist' movie although any attempt at summing it up would be wasted.
This is a movie that is best approached raw; just sit back and revel in Ritchie's quick-fire direction, his brilliant and, at times, incomprehensible dialogue and that terrific cast, (Brad Pitt, who may as well be speaking in tongues, might just be giving his best performance here). All you need to know is that involves a very large diamond, a lot of very incompetent gangsters, a load of gypsies, of whom Brad Pitt is one, and Benicio Del Toro as a gambler called Frankie Four Fingers. This is a movie you might even call obscenely enjoyable.
