This movie is fun, funny, violent, and complicated. The spiritual follow-up to director Guy Ritchie's earlier film Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch deals with the same world of English gangsters and criminals. The pacing is frantic, the plot almost needlessly complex, and the characters have names like Franky Four-fingers, Bullet-Tooth Tony, and Boris the Blade. It's a uniquely British thrill ride, plain and simple.
I'm unsure I could do an adequate job in describing the plot of this film. There are so many characters and overlapping plots that it becomes almost impossible to recount. There's a diamond heist, underground bare-knuckle boxing matches, which are the main stories in the plot. There are also some kidnappings, some assassins, some dismemberments, a delightful group of incomprehensible gypsies, and a dog that tries to eat everything. It's a manic mish-mash of everything we love about English gangster movies that Guy Ritchie has so perfectly crafted.
