Snatch




disclaimer: this is my first post so if it sucks please tell me.

Snatch well i personally loved it. Starring Brad Pitt as the pikey and Jason Statham as the main guy it's really a british violent movie about a diamond. And the many characters who's lives are affected by it. 

The way Guy Ritchie has used the camera to make fast-paced dolly shots and close-ups is awesome. A lot of up-themselves adult critics said it's a step-back for Ritchie because his previous movie was just like this but I haven't seen it so it doesn't apply to me.  

Things to note.
Brad Pitt did a awesome job. He pulled off the english/irish pikey accent really well and as always managed to look sexy through the process. There are some awesome lines from Statham as well and if you pay attention to the music you'll find it is very kick-ass. 
It came out in 2000 and It's rated MA but who seriously obeys rating restrictions these days? So if your under age i say screw that, watch it anyway. 

According to my sources it got pretty good critical acclaim and certainly they can't be bummed out about the profit they made.

I'm labelling it as a british medium violence black comedy worth seeing if your into that style of action and humour meshed together. And if you don't laugh at brad Pitt's take on the pikey accent I will kick you. 

You can find it at most DVD rentals and drop by sites like tudou or youku if you want to watch it online.

I'm giving it an over all 7 out of 10. But you have to be into this style of black comedy if you want to enjoy it, just warning you.

Check this link out, if you find the scenes in this 6 minute clip funny then this is definitely the movie for you.
