Some of the gags are funny, some are stale, and some are stale but still funny. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 02/20/2014
A tasting menu of hard-man predicaments that never offer more than a pale introduction to the innocent mark flailing at their center. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 02/20/2014
In terms of character and plot, not one element of the intended wild ride escapes self-consciousness or becomes the least bit involving. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/29/2019
1.5/5
A quick burn whose buzz wears off well before the end credits. Go to Full Review Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills 08/21/2018
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. Go to Full Review Nathan Rabin The Dissolve 02/20/2014

06/05/2014 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. See more 09/07/2012 If you copy your idols do it good...and they did...so funny...and all these strange characters...wonderful! See more 06/01/2012 Just a good dutch movie , soon forgotten i gues !
