Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Usually it might seem a tad unfair to begin a review by referring to the director's missis. But then the missis in question wouldn't usually be Madonna--a woman whose ability to reinvent herself several times before breakfast seems in marked contrast to that of hubby Guy Ritchie. Certainly, this follow-up to the filmmaker's breakthrough film--the high-energy, expletive-strewn cockney-gangster movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels--hardly breaks new ground being, well, another high-energy, expletive-strewn cockney-gangster movie. OK, so there are some differences. This time around our low-rent hoodlums are battling over dodgy fights and stolen diamonds rather than dodgy card games and stolen drugs. There has been some minor reshuffling of the cast too, with Sting and Dexter Fletcher making way for the more bankable Benicio Del Toro and Brad Pitt, the latter pretty much stealing the whole shebang as an incomprehensible Irish gypsy. And, sure, people who really, really liked Lock, Stock--or have the memory of a goldfish--will really, really like this. The suspicion lingers, however, that if the director doesn't do something very different next time around then his career may prove to be considerably shorter than that of his missis. --Clark Collis

4 out of 5 stars Stealin' stones and Breakin' Bones.......2007-06-27

What a follow-up to "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels!" It's the closest thing to a sequel without being one. Some say that "Snatch" is a poor follow up of Ritchie's first film, I say that this is an improvement on his signature style, an aggressive and a supercharged 21-gun salute to Britain film/filmmakers. The deftness displayed in this writer/director's pacing and editing is at times electrifying and sometimes simply beautiful. The soundtrack is not only superb and includes one of my personal favorite bands, Oasis, and is used to great comic effect as an poignant accompaniment to certain scenes.



In the vein of Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, and Fight Club, Snatch is a gritty dance with the criminal element, revolving around a stolen 86-karat diamond that any good crook would give his right arm for. (And in one case, I mean that literally.)After a boggling series of double-crosses, triple-crosses, and multi-crosses, Snatch becomes a game of who will end up with the gem -- and how will they get it? Ritchie keeps us guessing at every turn, with Russians hiring mercenary crooks to steal the jewel, hit men sent to kill the mercenaries, mobsters trying to outwit the hit men, Jewish jewelers scheming to undermine the mobsters, a crazed bare-knuckled boxer looking for his payday despite the chaos, and one dog who's lost his bark.



And every one of these stories is hilarious.



Vinnie Jones as Bullet Tooth Tony, a hunter/assassin who chills his prey with deadly stares; Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) is caught-in-the-middle robber/gambling addict; Dennis Farina, a stressed jeweler who can never catch a break; or any of two dozen other apt actors who fully own their roles. In the end, though, you have to give a hand to Brad Pitt, still buff from Fight Club, as a slur-mouthed Gypsy boxer who always manages to get one step ahead of the crowd.



"Snatch" is great. There are some funny lines, and some of the violence is quite inventive. Several times in this movie I was reminded of the "strange occurrences" theme seen in Magnolia. I wholeheartedly recommend this film if you haven't already snatch it.



5 out of 5 stars wish I would have seen this movie sooner........2007-06-21

Guy Ritche slid this one out a few years ago, and I missed it. A good cast including Jason Statham plays Turkish (the transporter, Crank) and Brad Pitt as mickey,the bare knuckle gypsy boxer. Essentially an Action Comedy. Turkish, a unlicenced boxing promoter, narrates the story as it revolves around and 84 carrot Diamond, and what eventually turns out to be a stuggle to try and save his own hide from Brick top, the underground promoter that "tells you what will happen". Its intriguing how thing and paths finally entertwine. Must see. If you like Lock, stock and two smoking barrels, this one I believe is better. And if You like Jason Statham, this movie is good as well. A good movie for any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Hidden treasure.......2007-06-15

A very funny movie with an amazing Brad Pitt as a Gipsy boxing champ. The storyline is great, and the movie never had a dull moment. The director keeps your attention by leading the audience through the story with video clip styled movie scenes. The actors themselves play accordingly, so after watching the movie you'll end up with a big smile on your face.

1 out of 5 stars Overrated.......2007-03-18

I was upset that I wasted my money on this film. The film is extremely overrated. At best it should have only gotten 3 stars. I do not see what there is to like about this film. It was not funny, the plot was stupid, everybody's running around trying to find a diamond and the movie just ends so abruptly, not a comfortable ending at all. If you have never seen this film I highly suggest that you rent it before you buy it.

Description

When jewel thief, Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro), takes a slight detour to London on route to delivering a huge stolen diamond to his boss in New York, he unwittingly sets off an avalanche of sinister and comic events that wind their way through the rough and tumble worlds of bare-knuckle boxing, Irish gypsies, pawn shops, pig farming and... a stray dog. SNATCH, Guy Ritchie's brilliant follow up to his critically acclaimed Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, exposes us to his hip and helter-skelter view of London's gangster underbelly. Ritchie's characteristic fast-paced and constantly twisting story features a madcap ensemble cast of larger-than-life characters, including Jason Statham, an unlicensed boxing promoter; Stephen Graham, his bumbling sidekick; Alan Ford, the local underworld kingpin; Dennis Farina, Franky's no-nonsense boss; Vinnie Jones, a legendary thug; Rade Sherbedgia, a psycho double-crossing Russian; and Brad Pitt, in a hilarious turn as a fast-talking gypsy bare-knuckle boxer.

4 out of 5 stars Funny as hell. A very fine dark comedy about a jewel heist and a bare-knuckle fight........2006-03-13

In response to the first review about the Superbit DVD, I thought it would've been the ORIGINAL from the SPECIAL EDITION version, but I was wrong and I did throw my receipt away. For those who made the same mistake I made, you can buy the SINGLE-DISC EDITION, which is the same 'Disc I' as in the SPECIAL EDITION version. Once that part is accomplished, you could try and pawn off the DELUXE EDITION SUPERBIT disc somewhere or hand it off to a good friend...*Shrug* that's what I did.

* * * * * * * * * *

Snatch is one of those rare movies where you might not be expecting much out of it, but when you see it, you fall in love with it and it only gets better everytime you see it. Guy Ritchie (the director) had won a british award for Best Promising Newcomer Director for his previous film 'Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrell's' which I have not seen yet, but I will be sure to. Snatch won some british awards as well for: Best Director, Actor (Vinnie Jones), and one for Sound Editing. Vinnie Jones (Bullet-Tooth Tony) did give a fine performance for not having much acting experience according to his own words, along with Dennis Farina (Cousin Avi), which he always cracked me up in the movie. Now...You've got Brad Pitt (Fight Club, SE7EN, Ocean's 11/12, etc...), who plays a gypsy, which doesn't have a lot of character when he makes his first appearance, but makes quite an impression when you find out he's a bare-knuckle championship star, along with his fights in the ring with Jason Statham (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrell's) and Stephen Graham (Gangs Of New York)...I wish Benicio Del Toro (Traffic [Won award for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR], Hunted, The Way of the Gun) was in the movie more as the famous, Franky Four-Fingers...Was a promising character from the beginning. The DELUXE EDITION is great, the scrap book from the movie was fun to cruise through, but I didn't really understand the purpose of the poker set...The cards are cool and creative, heh. Finally, the Superbit DVD...I remember reading on the back that there a couple features it was suppose to have on it like the Director/Producer commentary, along with the "Stealing Stones" Enhanced Branching Mode...They weren't on it...That's when I read the review down below about the correct disc, which is why I only gave this review 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, the movie is fast-paced, dark, with that Pulp Fiction-type humor, and funny as hell (is reminded of the squeeking dog). Own it, but remember to get the SPECIAL EDITION, or if you do get the disappointing DELUXE EDITION, keep your receipt and trade it in for the correct 'Disc I'

5 out of 5 stars SNATCH.......2006-03-10

GREAT MOVIE ! THE BRITISH HAVE SUCH A DRY SENSE OF HUMOR, BUT I LOVE IT. BRAD PITT AND JASON STATHAM ARE GREAT !

4 out of 5 stars Sony will replace the superbit disk.......2006-01-15

I purchased this item and found that disk one was the old superbit edition without the commentary track. I emailed Sony and they quickly responded saying that this was a mistake with the first production run. If you mail in disk 1 along with the proof of purchase and copy of the email from Sony, they will send you the proper disk 1. So, if you have this dvd with the wrong disk one, just email Sony and they will tell you what to do.

2 out of 5 stars This is a re-release of the deleted first special edition!.......2006-01-15

This new version of Snatch is a re-release of the original 2 disc edition that has been off the market for the past 2-3 years. This one has added a little poker set (bad cards and a dealer chip) as well as a booklet. The problem i have is that in the one i bought, the superbit version was included as the first disc - not the one that was supposed to be there with the commentary and branching features. Don't know if this was widespread or not.

The cards are terrible. The Suits are diamonds (like in the film) but also boxing gloves, guns and the dog. WTF mate. Also the numbers are in a bad font - stretched thin and difficult to read. The booklet replaces the on disc filmography i believe and adds some production notes - its good looking and a nice edition.

If you have the deleted edition there is no need foir this - if you have any of the others this one is better than any other version and its pretty inexpensive.

3 out of 5 stars Great Movie - what's new with this DVD.......2006-01-08

I have to agree with a previous review. I have a 2 disc DVD that I bought in 2001 or 2002. It is chock full of stuff and truth be told, I never watch the second disc. I saw it once and don't need another version of a movie I already have to see something I might or might not watch. Forget the re-releases - go through the catalog look on the web and release the ones we have on waiting lists.

Usually it might seem a tad unfair to begin a review by referring to the director's missis. But then the missis in question wouldn't usually be Madonna--a woman whose ability to reinvent herself several times before breakfast seems in marked contrast to that of hubby Guy Ritchie. Certainly, this follow-up to the filmmaker's breakthrough film--the high-energy, expletive-strewn cockney-gangster movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels--hardly breaks new ground being, well, another high-energy, expletive-strewn cockney-gangster movie. OK, so there are some differences. This time around our low-rent hoodlums are battling over dodgy fights and stolen diamonds rather than dodgy card games and stolen drugs. There has been some minor reshuffling of the cast too, with Sting and Dexter Fletcher making way for the more bankable Benicio Del Toro and Brad Pitt, the latter pretty much stealing the whole shebang as an incomprehensible Irish gypsy. And, sure, people who really, really liked Lock, Stock--or have the memory of a goldfish--will really, really like this. The suspicion lingers, however, that if the director doesn't do something very different next time around then his career may prove to be considerably shorter than that of his missis. --Clark Collis

4 out of 5 stars Stealin' stones and Breakin' Bones.......2007-06-27

What a follow-up to "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels!" It's the closest thing to a sequel without being one. Some say that "Snatch" is a poor follow up of Ritchie's first film, I say that this is an improvement on his signature style, an aggressive and a supercharged 21-gun salute to Britain film/filmmakers. The deftness displayed in this writer/director's pacing and editing is at times electrifying and sometimes simply beautiful. The soundtrack is not only superb and includes one of my personal favorite bands, Oasis, and is used to great comic effect as an poignant accompaniment to certain scenes.



In the vein of Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, and Fight Club, Snatch is a gritty dance with the criminal element, revolving around a stolen 86-karat diamond that any good crook would give his right arm for. (And in one case, I mean that literally.)After a boggling series of double-crosses, triple-crosses, and multi-crosses, Snatch becomes a game of who will end up with the gem -- and how will they get it? Ritchie keeps us guessing at every turn, with Russians hiring mercenary crooks to steal the jewel, hit men sent to kill the mercenaries, mobsters trying to outwit the hit men, Jewish jewelers scheming to undermine the mobsters, a crazed bare-knuckled boxer looking for his payday despite the chaos, and one dog who's lost his bark.



And every one of these stories is hilarious.



Vinnie Jones as Bullet Tooth Tony, a hunter/assassin who chills his prey with deadly stares; Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) is caught-in-the-middle robber/gambling addict; Dennis Farina, a stressed jeweler who can never catch a break; or any of two dozen other apt actors who fully own their roles. In the end, though, you have to give a hand to Brad Pitt, still buff from Fight Club, as a slur-mouthed Gypsy boxer who always manages to get one step ahead of the crowd.



"Snatch" is great. There are some funny lines, and some of the violence is quite inventive. Several times in this movie I was reminded of the "strange occurrences" theme seen in Magnolia. I wholeheartedly recommend this film if you haven't already snatch it.



5 out of 5 stars wish I would have seen this movie sooner........2007-06-21

Guy Ritche slid this one out a few years ago, and I missed it. A good cast including Jason Statham plays Turkish (the transporter, Crank) and Brad Pitt as mickey,the bare knuckle gypsy boxer. Essentially an Action Comedy. Turkish, a unlicenced boxing promoter, narrates the story as it revolves around and 84 carrot Diamond, and what eventually turns out to be a stuggle to try and save his own hide from Brick top, the underground promoter that "tells you what will happen". Its intriguing how thing and paths finally entertwine. Must see. If you like Lock, stock and two smoking barrels, this one I believe is better. And if You like Jason Statham, this movie is good as well. A good movie for any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Hidden treasure.......2007-06-15

A very funny movie with an amazing Brad Pitt as a Gipsy boxing champ. The storyline is great, and the movie never had a dull moment. The director keeps your attention by leading the audience through the story with video clip styled movie scenes. The actors themselves play accordingly, so after watching the movie you'll end up with a big smile on your face.

5 out of 5 stars great guy flick.......2007-05-09

not a fan of leaving long detailed reviews but this movie is pretty much awesome from beginning to end...Def check it out!

1 out of 5 stars Overrated.......2007-03-18

I was upset that I wasted my money on this film. The film is extremely overrated. At best it should have only gotten 3 stars. I do not see what there is to like about this film. It was not funny, the plot was stupid, everybody's running around trying to find a diamond and the movie just ends so abruptly, not a comfortable ending at all. If you have never seen this film I highly suggest that you rent it before you buy it.

Description

In this sexy and sassy story, Naomi pays the bills by directing lesbian porn. Her male bosses think her work is too gay; her friends think she's a sellout. For comfort, Naomi confides in a secret online soul mate called Sugar. Then Naomi gets a chance to direct a popular and daring girl-meets-girl matchmaking show. She casts her bubbly pal Azusa, whose love life at home is suffering, and no-nonsense executive Miki, whose outlet by night is exotic dancing. When their scripted TV romance flares into some hot off-screen action, even Naomi finds herself caught in the flame. Directed by Desiree Lim, Sugar Sweet is the first Japanese film to be made by and about lesbians.

1 out of 5 stars Wow?!..............2007-03-28

This film...it's flaky and trashy. From the preview it looked very intersting so I picked it up, but it's not so please pass this up. The storylines bounce from one to the other which is confusing. Even the interview with the director of the film in the special feature was boring and confusing, I just couldn't hear nor understand what they were saying most of the time.

1 out of 5 stars Cheesy, gross and not sexy.......2005-02-19

I hated this film. The women in it were not attractive or sexy, and the plot was incredibly stupid and misogynistic. This film is about a Japanese woman who decides to produce her own lesbian porno flick (after working in the straight Japanese porno industry for years with her misogynistic male comrades) and explores her interactions with the actress she hires to star in her porno film. This film had very unsexy and graphic sex scenes and unlikable characters. What's shocking is that this movie was actually produced by a lesbian ....

1 out of 5 stars 1 star cause I am sympathetic.......2004-02-13

Not good...poor story line dull acting...oh what a tragedy...could have been better with a better script or actresses...hmmm maybe not..should have donated the money to make this to a womens shelter and done more good...

1 out of 5 stars Too much sugar can cause you to crash.......2003-12-30

I wanted to like it. I fell asleep. Even while reading the poorly written subtitles. Maybe that is the problem with the film... When you hear a character speaking for 30 seconds and yet the subtitle only says "yes, you're right" you know you're missing out on something. You simply can't blame the director or script writer for that. Blame the poor translation.

That said, I still don't recommend the film:
*I don't speak Japanese so I can't say whether the story-line would have been good in spite of the bad translation.
*I kept getting the characters confused, because I couldn't look at them long enough to know them because I had to keep reading the dialog. (Don't get me wrong, I usually have no problem following stories with subtitles...)
*It was just plain boring.

1 out of 5 stars Mundane.......2003-12-17

The story will make you ask, story what story? wait a second there is no real plot here....The acting....I believe that is limited...the alluring sexual content advertised ...was no where to be found...I wanted to like this film, but I just have to be truthful...This is a poorly made lesbian film...simply mundane...Can't someone make an intelligent lesbian film that does not insult our intelligence...

    Description

    DONNIE BRASCO: Posing as jewel broker Donnie Brasco, FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone (Johnny Depp) is granted entrance into the violent mob family of aging hit man Lefty Ruggiero (Al Pacino). When his personal and professional lives collide, Pistone jeopardizes his marriage, his job life and, ultimately, the gangster mentor he has come to respect and admire. From acclaimed director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral), and featuring an extraordinary supporting cast including Michael Madsen, Anne Heche, Bruno Kirby and James Russo. SNATCH: When jewel thief, Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro), takes a slight detour to London on route to delivering a huge stolen diamond to his boss in New York, he unwittingly sets off an avalanche of sinister and comic events that wind their way through the rough and tumble worlds of bare-knuckle boxing, Irish gypsies, pawn shops, pig farming and... a stray dog. SNATCH, Guy Ritchie's brilliant follow up to his critically acclaimed Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, exposes us to his hip and helter-skelter view of London's gangster underbelly. Ritchie's characteristic fast-paced and constantly twisting story features a madcap ensemble cast of larger-than-life characters, including Jason Statham, an unlicensed boxing promoter; Stephen Graham, his bumbling sidekick; Alan Ford, the local underworld kingpin; Dennis Farina, Franky's no-nonsense boss; Vinnie Jones, a legendary thug; Rade Sherbedgia, a psycho double-crossing Russian; and Brad Pitt, in a hilarious turn as a fast-talking gypsy bare-knuckle boxer. BUGSY: Warren Beatty and Annette Bening star in the incredible true story of Benjamin Bugsy Siegel, the playboy gangster who betrayed the Mob for love. A cold-blooded killer who dreamed of Hollywood stardom, a crazed patriot who plotted against Mussolini, and the brilliant visionary who carved Las Vegas out of the dry Nevada desert, Bugsy had it all. Until he fell for the one woman who wanted more. A critical masterpiece, BUGSY is a remarkable collaboration of Hollywood's best: director Barry Levinson, screenwriter James Toback, and an all-star supporting cast that includes Harvey Keitel, Oscar®-winner Ben Kingsley (Best Actor, Gandhi,1982), Joe Mantegna, and Elliott Gould. But at the center of it all is the white-hot romance between Bugsy and the insatiable starlet, Virginia Hill. THE AMERICAN GANGSTER: This unique documentary examines the origins of organized crime in America with actual film footage of such notorious underworld figures as John Dillinger, Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel.

    Product Description

    Gambler and conman Jake Green (Jason Statham) always ran with a bad crowd and it cost him seven years of his life when he took the rap for mean Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta) and wound up in jail. After his release, Jake becomes unbeatable at the tables using a formula for the ultimate con that he learned from two mysterious fellow prisoners. Now he is ready to take his revenge. Macha is plotting to eliminate his ruthless rival, Lord John, and has staked his credibility on a huge drug deal with the all-powerful Sam Gold. Jake visits Macha at his casino and humiliates him publicly in a game of chance. Macha fearing more of the same medicine sends his goons to "take care of" Jake. His life is saved by enigmatic Zach (Vincent Pastore) who, with his equally inscrutable partner Avi (André Benjamin), offers Jake protection. Against his better judgment, Jake accepts. He soon finds himself playing the very last game he wants to be playing, and there is danger at every turn. But the biggest danger of all comes from a totally unexpected source.

    If you're looking for another classic Guy Ritchie movie packed with laughs and crazy deaths than you're probably going to be dissapointed by this film. It's a more mature move by Ritchie and goes in a completely different direction than any movie I've ever seen. It was however, still a flop in the U.K. largely, I think, due to the confusion created at the end. Also Ray Liota doesn't seem to really be acting until about 15 minutes into the movie. Granted he performs marvelously after that, it just takes some getting used to and is a bit annoying when watching. You should deffinitely watch this movie, but try to keep an open mind, and pay close attention. I own it and love it, but I have to put it in my PS2 to watch it

    Excellent. Ray Liotta at it's best, and Statham in one of the most profound characters he's ever played. I did enjoy this movie. Recommended.

    Product Description

    They loved each other the way that everyone hopes to be loved. A fairytale romance that gave them the will to survive life's hardships and a driving passion that made them live for each other. Their intense affection was matched by their intense histories. She was a stripper with broken dreams, he was a loner with a broken heart. Just as Laura (Emmanuelle Seigner: The Ninth Gate, Frantic) and Marco (Philippe Torreton: It All Starts Today) are about to start their new life together, there is a terrible car accident. Months in the hospital, multiple operations, but Marco never leaves Laura's side. Their love grows that much stronger. Five years later, they live in bliss and adore their child. They have the perfect life... or do they? Sometimes love is blind. Sometimes it is obsessive. Sometimes it can drive you insane, and sometimes it is so strong that it will demand the most elaborate and twisted plans to keep it alive.

    5 out of 5 stars Move over Hollywood - it's time for a revolution.........2005-08-30

    Quite simply spell-binding!

    I saw this film twice at the French Film Festival in both Glasgow and then in Edinburgh, Scotland and was so blown away by the performances of the three main characters that I had to take my friend to see it again two nights later in the Capital. We were lucky enough to get to meet the writer and director who were taking questions from the audience. Their commitment and passion to Corps a Corps and the struggle they endured just to get if off the ground are typical of many arthouse movies in Europe. And yet by saying "arthouse" I feel like I'm implying that it should be perhaps eccentric and weird - not a bit of it. If only Hollywood could make them like this - a damned good story with more twists and turns than the Monaco Grand Prix and more feverish intensity from it's cast and crew than anything Coppola or De Niro ever worked on, then this might give you an idea just how highly I rate this film.

    But don't take my word for it - buy it, watch it, get lost in it and then say goodbye to Hollywood blockbusters forever and their multi-million dollar effects. This little French revolution is just about to change your viewing habits forever!
