Guy Ritchie may not be with Madonna any more, but to our way of thinking, that’s her loss. He’s written and directed two of the most entertaining “caper” flicks of all time. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, is a clever (and hilarious) insta-classic. But Snatch is even more complex and entertaining.
The plot’s a lot more convoluted that can be explained here, but it involves diamond smuggling, fixed illegal boxing matches, and a tribe of Irish gypsies. Brad Pitt is one of the gypsies who is hired to throw a fight and he’s hilarious. It’s his very best role—even better than 12 Monkeys. The guy can actually act.
An added bonus is the character names: “Boris The Blade,” “Franky Four Fingers,” “Bullet Tooth Tony,” and “Brick Top.” Love it.
