Snatch Reviews

The movie is not boring, but it doesn't build and it doesn't arrive anywhere.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Simply put, Snatch stinks.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

Like the director's other film, this has no strong role for a woman.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

Its continuous action and frenetic pace don't make it either fresh or funny. I'm curious to see what genre Ritchie tackles next.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10

It's not a sequel, not a remake; it's reheated Ritchie.

Full Review | Original Score: C

Loaded down with too many characters and locations.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Ritchie doesn't have a whole lot to say about matters of fate, morality and manhood.

Snatch just seems aggressively smug, like a doorman at a club that too desperately wants to be coolly exclusive.

It was probably a lot of fun to make, but it really doesn't add anything to the genre, and it's not really a development over his first film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

It's rather like the favorite pastime of this movie's villain ... throwing wild dogs into a pit and watching them fight until there's only one left standing.

| Original Score: D

...showoff filmmaking that blatantly ignores the needs of story and character in favor of whatever happens to look 'cool.'

The kind of moronic, blood-soaked exercise in nihilism that might have felt fresh 25 years ago if accompanied by a score of Sex Pistols music, but now is stale and moldy in its excesses.

Full Review | Original Score: D-

There's just not a lot of fun to be had here. The plot is too convoluted, too filled with double-reversals and twists for us to turn our brains off, relax and watch Guy Ritchie's kinetic visual style.

Full Review | Original Score: D+

Snatch is like Chinese food: tastes great, but no sense memory afterward. I gave this movie a lower rating than Lock Stock even though I enjoyed Snatch more.

Full Review | Original Score: 3

All the Tarantino trademarks, basically, except that it's not nearly as enjoyable, inventive or clever.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Mayhem posing as hip; motion aspiring to chic.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

Snatch gives us a few distinctive and stylish moments, then recycles them and somehow expects that to be good enough.

| Original Score: 2/4

Fun for a time until the repetition factor sets in.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

The dialogue is never quite as witty as it thinks it is, and the convoluted narrative and endless gun battles become wearisome over time.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

Snatch jettisons everything which was admirable about Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

If an audience heads to "Snatch" expecting to see new ground broken by the writer-director, well, they will be disappointed.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
