Advantages: good storyline

Disadvantages: a little predictable

Overview
------------
Snatch is the sequel to Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels. Guy Richie has come back again with a good - if slightly predictable film. This film, like Lock Stock, follows the interwoven travels of various types of gangsters in London's criminal world.

Plot
-----
The plot is very similar to Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels. Various groups of English and American gangsters and one Russian named Boris The Blade fight over a large stolen diamond. In the mean time Brad Pitt (the irish gypsy) has a number of illigal fights to win money for the english gangsters and to get his mum a new caravan.

Direction
------------
Guy Richie directs the movie well and the Movie has an amazing soundtrack including the likes of Oasis, Massive Attack, Mirwais and (snigger, snigger) Madonna. The film is very fast paced and the cast is far more professional than Lock Stock.

Characters
--------------
My favourite actors in this movie are Brad Pitt and Vinnie Jones. Brad is hilarious with his irish accent and witty lines. Vinnie Jones again takes on the role as a vicious but likable killer.

Overall
---------
Guy Richie, i feel, is trying to appeal to a wider audience with this film. Namely the Americans. I think by using more international characters he has achieved this. The language is also more suited to an american audience (less cockney rhyming slang). Even so i still love this film and it is now really good value to buy at around £5.

Summary: great film worth buying
