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

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.

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

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.

What we have here is a gaudy mess. At times it feels like it's being made up as it goes along.

| Dec 2, 2002

This may be one of the hazardous offshoots of the music-video-trained generation of moviemakers; they confuse a diet of eye candy with a full meal.

Bouncing around in a world of bare-knuckle boxing, gypsy swindlers, pretend Jewish diamond merchants, indestructible Russian assassins and a thug who disposes of bodies by feeding them to hungry pigs, Snatch has enough plots for a fair-sized cemetery.

He's not breaking new ground with Snatch, merely fine-tuning the knack for disreputable kicks he showed in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

The cinematic dazzle, the high pitch to which he leads his actors, the relish of sheer velocity are reward enough.

Full Review | Mar 8, 2001

The story motors like a car driven by a chatty maniac who somehow stays on the road.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 7, 2001

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Now that's entertainment!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 7, 2001

Manages the trick of keeping the viewer entertained -- and aware of exactly who is where -- even when the movie is going in three directions at the same time.

| Feb 7, 2001

It takes a very clever schoolboy to make a movie as elaborately empty as Guy Ritchie's Snatch.

| Feb 7, 2001

Snatch is hard to figure out, but even harder not to laugh at.

Full Review | Jan 19, 2001

A pointless exercise in cool by a film maker who needs to grow up. As in: Oh, grow up.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 19, 2001

As an unfolding event, Snatch is fun to watch, even if no reasonable person could hope to understand the plot in one viewing.

Full Review | Jan 19, 2001

A fairly cool movie and also a fairly good one.

Full Review | Jan 19, 2001

Fun moments are ultimately slight compensation for Snatch's overall staleness.

| Jan 19, 2001

You'll laugh and have a good old rowdy time watching Snatch. But as soon as you walk out of the theater, you'll ask yourself what it was you were laughing at.

| Jan 19, 2001

Hip and stylish. It's also empty, but that's probably part of the style, which draws inspiration from Quentin Tarantino movies and vintage British gangster films as well as music videos.
