When Mickey does not throw his first fight as agreed, an infuriated Brick Top demands another match.

Critics Consensus

Though perhaps a case of style over substance, Guy Ritchie's second crime caper is full of snappy dialogue, dark comedy, and interesting characters.

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

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

Newsweek

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.

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

Rated: 4/5

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]

Guy Ritchie's Snatch is a dazzling follow-up to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, cranking up the style, wit, and chaos. The film spins a web of interlocking stories - illegal boxing, stolen diamonds, and a rogue’s gallery of unforgettable characters - all drenched in Ritchie’s signature Cockney swagger. The ensemble cast is top-notch, with Brad Pitt’s unintelligible yet magnetic portrayal of Mickey the Pikey stealing the show. Meanwhile, Jason Statham anchors the whirlwind narrative with dry humour, and Benicio del Toro’s cool charm makes a brief but memorable mark. Packed with sharp dialogue, frenetic pacing, and a killer soundtrack, Snatch is undeniably entertaining. However, its frenetic energy occasionally stumbles into excess, with so many twists and subplots that it risks losing its own thread. Still, the film’s sheer charisma and style make up for its narrative bloat. A wildly enjoyable ride, if not quite as fresh as its predecessor.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A masterpiece from Guy Ritchie. There’s a cult following for this picture. Among the ensemble’s many gems, Brad Pitt’s loopy, game performance is likely the top reason so many people love this film. If you don’t like stylish movies, don’t watch this.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I love this movie but definitely needed to rewind several times to try to make out what various characters were saying. (Not just Brad Pitt's character, pretty much everyone except Del Toro and Farina). Lots of quirky characters and moving parts. Think of Love Actually, except with crime and violence instead of love.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
