Some of the gags are funny, some are stale, and some are stale but still funny.

New York Times

A tasting menu of hard-man predicaments that never offer more than a pale introduction to the innocent mark flailing at their center.

In terms of character and plot, not one element of the intended wild ride escapes self-consciousness or becomes the least bit involving.

A quick burn whose buzz wears off well before the end credits.

Rated: 1.5/5

Film Thrills

Each of the characters are each funny, untrustworthy, and straight out of a Dutch comic book. The caricatures absolutely work in this type of film, and it is a really fun ride to go along with.

The Dissolve

Black Out strains to shock and offend, but at this point, 20 years after Pulp Fiction, its conception of transgression is so familiar and toothless that it borders on quaint.

Rated: 0.5/5

UPDATE* still solid, maybe even better the more you watch it. the Dutch version of SNATCH is held together with a strong lead character and a forward moving story, though its hard to not make the comparisons to a better film.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
