Snatch (film)

Snatch is a 2000 crime comedy film written and directed by Guy Ritchie, featuring an ensemble cast and set in the London criminal underworld.

The film contains two intertwined plots, one dealing with the search for a stolen diamond, the other with a small-time boxing promoter (Jason Statham) who finds himself under the thumb of a ruthless gangster (Alan Ford) who is ready and willing to have his subordinates carry out severe and sadistic acts of violence.

At the bookies, Sol, Vinny, and their getaway driver Tyrone are caught on camera and find no money, since Gorgeous George's cancellation means that all bets are off.

Avi and Doug hire bounty hunter Bullet-Tooth Tony to find Franky and they capture Boris and the diamond, pursued by Sol, Vinny, and Tyrone, with Turkish and Tommy driving on the same road.

Mickey agrees to fight to avoid further carnage, but gets so drunk at his mother's wake that Turkish fears he will ruin the fixed match.

The next morning, Turkish and Tommy return to the Travellers' campsite to recruit Mickey to fight for them legitimately, but find it deserted and are confronted by the police.

Taking the dog to a veterinarian to extract a squeaky toy it swallowed, Turkish and Tommy discover the diamond and consult Doug; he calls Avi, who returns to London to purchase it.

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

In his review, Roger Ebert gave the film two out of four stars, writing that while ostensibly rooted in the London underworld, Pitt's Irish Traveller community were the most interesting element of the plot and the film's clearest predecessors were all American: Dick Tracy comics, Damon Runyon stories, and zany Marx Brothers comedies.

The special features on the second disc included a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, original theatrical trailer and TV spots, text/photo galleries, storyboard comparisons, and filmographies.

As is the case with superbit presentations, the disc was absent of the additional features included in the original standard DVD, such as the audio commentary.
