Very cartoonish, but still quite a lark, with lots of Ritchie’s kinetic directorial style.

As Ritchie's second feature film, Snatch is well done and shows inklings of the master craftsman he will eventually become.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 21, 2021

It is unquestionable that the script and direction are of an impressive level that places the filmmaker as one of the most eloquent writers and brightest narrators that emerged from the perfidious Albión in the last two decades. [Full Review in Spanish]

A thoroughly competent, pulpy gangster pastiche.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 22, 2019

With this morbidly bouncy black comedy Ritchie finds a sneaky way to avoid sophomore slump: by passing his freshman tests all over again. And now for something completely different, please.

| Mar 6, 2018

An entertaining romp of a crime caper flick that wants to be funny more than it wants to be dangerous or mysterious.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 26, 2012

Eccentric characters, lively banter, adults only.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2011

Of the ensemble, only Pitt truly shows his class, delivering an amusing yet emotive performance amongst a group of actors who -- at best -- are pandering to laddish culture.

| Apr 15, 2008

Ritchie may be skilled at generating controlled chaos, but his surprise-a-minute strategy ultimately holds no surprises.

| Apr 15, 2008

It's a twisting, witty, and wise crime-boxing story about the hunt for a huge diamond and a prizefighter who can't take a fall.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 26, 2006

Ritchie's follow-up to Lock, Stock is an even more craftily concocted underworld entertainment, helped no end by the casting of Pitt as the bare-knuckle boxer Mickey.

| Feb 9, 2006

...an ideal follow-up to writer/director Guy Ritchie's debut effort, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 15, 2006

Snatch is a full-throttle comedic crime caper that more than resembles Lock, Stock... yet remains a rollicking good time in its own right.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 10, 2005

Madonna's husband is a dervish in the editing room, and he's not ashamed to have nicked most of the conventions of American noir.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jan 29, 2005

Fortunately, the drop in entertainment value from one Ritchie film to the next isn't as steep as the drop in originality.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 10, 2005

It's rather like the favorite pastime of this movie's villain ... throwing wild dogs into a pit and watching them fight until there's only one left standing.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Dec 6, 2004

This is a swift, sharp picture that pleases the senses on all levels, ranging from the visual to the aural, the linguistic, and yes even the intellectual.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 10, 2004

There's just not a lot of fun to be had here. The plot is too convoluted, too filled with double-reversals and twists for us to turn our brains off, relax and watch Guy Ritchie's kinetic visual style.

| Original Score: D+ | May 22, 2003

Snatch, while somewhat hard to follow, represents a fascinating study in character interaction and complex plot development.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 8, 2003
