Snatch

Having seen previous Guy Ritchie film "Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels" I had high expectations for Snatch as the standard of Lock stock was high and knew this would be hard to beat but I think it shone threw and can be arguable which is the better. Thankfully Snatch delivered in more ways than one and proved to be classic Guy Ritchie Film. The Film itself is a London gangster featuring Stephen Graham, Brad Pitt and Jason Statham.
