This Week's Movie

Snatch

Guy Ritchie did it again. Two years after the previous movie, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Ritchie comes back with another comedy with a bunch of boneheaded underworld types. The story involves an 84 ct. flawless diamond, a pack of gypsies, boxing, a man that dodges bullets and a man the has a few in his mouth. Ritchie not only directed this one but he wrote this as well. So much like LSTS it is very complex. Not too give to much away, the movie stars Jason Statham and Vinny Jones again. Statham is a promoter of illegal boxing matches who is just trying to get by and buy himself a new caravan (trailer). Jones comes along much later so just watch and see who he is. Trouble arises early on when Statham tries to buy a caravan from the gypsies and his prize fighter is knocked into next week by a lanky Irishman played by none other than Bradd Pitt. To make a long story short without giving away any details, Pitt decides to fight for Statham. Now onto the other story involving the diamond. Benicio Del Toro steals the diamond and then has the diamond stolen from him. Thats as basic as I am willing to make it. Just watch the movie and you can figure out what I mean.

Reasons to watch:

1. Guy Ritchie: The man is a genius when it comes to envisioning a story and capturing it through a camera lens. The movie is complex yet easy enough to follow for most viewers. He shows you everything up his sleeve and doesn't leave a briefcase with a golden glow up for interpretation.

2. Fight Club: Did you like watching Brad Pitt beat up people in Fight Club? If you are thinking to yourself "Yeah I did enjoy him beating up guys twice his size", then this is a movie you have to see. The man is unstoppable. Well at least the character he portrays it unstoppable. He bare knuckle fights two men bigger than him and another with gloves on. Definitely not to be missed.

3. Re-watch: The movie should be watched twice I know I saw this a while ago and forgot about it but coming back with the goal of promoting has made it stick out in my head. Watch it again before you recommend it to friends. Or not.

4. Review: Check out the reasons why to watch Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. I would say the same reasons apply here.
