		It is also filmed in the same visual style and features many of the same actors, including Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham and Jason Flemyng, who appears in a minor role as one of the 'pikies'.
		Snatch is a dark comedy of errors, in which most of the humor results from accidents, ironic coincidences and bad luck.
		In the beginning of the film, the diamond is referred to as weighing 86 carats (17.2 g), while later on, it is mentioned that the stone is 82 or 84 carats (16.4 or 16.8 g).

	Irish Traveller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film Snatch features Brad Pitt as a stereotypical Traveller who is an undefeatable bareknuckle boxing champion.
		A travelling tinker family is depicted in the movie The Field and the daughter is frowned upon as a potential bride.
		It followed Galway boxer Francis (Francie) Barrett for three years and showed Francie overcoming discrimination as he progressed up the amateur boxing ranks to eventually carry the Irish flag and box for Ireland at the age of 19 during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

	Snatch. (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		"Snatch" is fantastic; and not least because it demonstrates emphatically that the British movie industry is capable of rivaling even the best of what Hollywood can offer.
		Everyone in the film puts in an excellent performance, but Pitt stands out as a charismatic and near-incomprehensible Gypsy boxer.
		Like Ritchie's earlier film, this one takes a little while to find its feet, but once it does the pace doesn't slacken until the finale.

	Snatch
		Snatch is a film to be ridden for the sheer joy of the ride.
		Snatch's purpose, it's gleeful, passionate raison d'être is to simply set up and play with characters and situations, allowing them room enough to fool and be fooled and to play out their sorry absurdist lives in a loud, anarchic theatre.
		In Snatch, he proves that Lock, Stock was no fluke, and establishes both himself and his creative team as a power to be reckoned with, building on the confidence of the previous film, and successfully delivering a finely crafted, hilariously raucous little gem.

	Review of "Snatch" (2000)
		Snatch is a perfect example that kind of movie, one that harbors no loftier ambitions than to simply show you a rocking good time.
		This is the second film director Guy Ritchie has made, his first being Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, a complex caper comedy set in the British underground, featuring colorfully-named thieves and assorted other lowlifes that happen to cross paths in their quest for money.
		Sure, Snatch is strikingly similar to its predecessor (like I said, a reworking), and the story does revolve around a collection of brain-dead criminals after the same goal (as one character notes, “Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity”), but the emulation ends there.

	SNATCH movie review, In Film Australia
		Both ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and ‘Snatch’ focus on characters who wanted to make a quick buck but didn’t have the brains to contain their petty crimes from spiraling way out of their control and into the hands of somebody else’s.
		Yeah, ok, but the beauty of Ritchie’s films is that he is not ambiguous in any sense -- both ‘Snatch’ and ‘Lock, Stock’ actually present practical things to illustrate what the characters are after.
		‘Snatch’ is a far more complex narrative than ‘Lock, Stock,’ and has intricacies and sub plots that seem to criss-cross and muddle into each other but I’m sure that’s just because so much action is taking place.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Snatch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		In 1998 British writer/director Guy Ritchie strafed the macho flank of the indie film corps with "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," a slapstick, heist-gone-wrong flick in which three groups of guys overlapped criminal schemes.
		The film was the bee's knees in England and a minor hit here.
		There's an off-and-on narrator; a valuable commodity that characters don't realize is in their possession (here the gem, in the previous version two antique guns); impassive hit men; henchmen who get toppled like bowling pins; and essentially no women in sight.

	'Snatch': Man, All They Wanted Was to Go Buy a Trailer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		"Snatch" seems almost anachronistic now, a relic of a bygone era when the Brits again ruled pop culture, when the music of Oasis was everywhere and "Trainspotting" was all the rage.
		"Snatch" follows the path of a stolen diamond through the hands, pockets and minds of a group of criminals from all walks of the lower depths: pawnbrokers, gun brokers and jewel merchants.
		With the exception of the opening, which pokes along just so that "Snatch" can grab you by the scruff of the neck and pull you along for the rest of its 105 minutes, the picture is an explosion of graphics and jump cuts.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| REVIEWS \| Various Artists - Snatch: Original Film Soundtrack
		Film or not, the Snatch soundtrack stands alone as a fine work and stakes its claim as best soundtrack of 2001.
		Unlike Snatch, a large number of soundtrack albums fall victim to the unfortunate trend of including top 40 hits that you will never find anywhere in the film so they can milk every penny with the aid of the films marketing campaigns.
		It was nice to listen to such a creatively blended selection of music for a soundtrack, other film producers should take note and select tracks themselves for their next film (unless of course their music tastes suck).

	Snatch
		Snatch, Guy Ritchie's follow up to his 1999 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, has the same style and characters as Lock, Stock, but definitely holds its own.
		Snatch erupts onto the screen like an exploded music video- but for once, this is a good thing.
		It seems films right now are dealing with darker topics (The Pledge, Traffic, The Gift), but with Snatch, it is easy to sit back, relax and enjoy this fun film...and to remind us why we go to the movies.

	Press: SNATCH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Snatch is nothing if not watchable: It has the insane, popcorn rhythms of a Road Runner cartoon, and for that reason alone it’s a minor masterpiece.
		Ritchie pulls out all the stops with Snatch — the film has (rightly) been compared to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, although it certainly feels as though Ritchie is trying to top himself here, and to his credit (and my amazement) he does.
		Snatch is a tighter, more resilient film than its predecessor in every way right down to the opening titles.

	Snatch : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		Intentional or not, it came a mere week before the opening of his new film Snatch, the follow-up to his Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
		Snatch is a film that stands perfectly on its own merits while it shoots bullet holes in everything in sight.
		In the vein of Pulp Fiction, Trainspotting, and Fight Club, Snatch is a gritty dance with the criminal element, revolving around a stolen 86-karat diamond that any good crook would give his right arm for.

	Snatch movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		The opening jewel thievery scene is cut with a rapid fire pace and the camera moves twists and turns on its head, which adds to the urgency and the intensity of the scene.
		The good news is that Guy Ritchie has avoided the filmmakers sophomore jinx with his second major film, the bad news is that he did it with the same blueprint he used to make his first film.
		Snatch is also in the same league as its predecessor, but I would have liked to see him tackle a different type of film.

	Snatch film review
		There's no denying director Guy Ritchie's acute visual flair, employing different film speeds and kinetic camera movements to energise the set pieces, most notably the pivotal illegal boxing match in which Mickey is pummelled to within an inch of his life in stomach-churning close-up.
		Unfortunately, while the film is impeccably well-dressed, as soon as it opens its mouth, it falls flat on its face.
		Pitt turns in the film's only noteworthy performance as the Irish gypsy-turned-prize fighter whose accent is so thick, no-one can understand what he says (one of the film's increasingly tiresome running gags).

		Well, to be honest, Snatch isn’t enough of a departure for Ritchie to escape accusations of it being little more than Lock, Stock 2.
		Snatch does everything it says on the tin, and with it Ritchie proves he’s still a cut above his imitators.

	Snatch (2001): Benicio Del Toro, Dennis Farina, Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham - PopMatters Film Review
		From here, these crooks and others make mistake after mistake, which eventually come together in one deliriously choreographed sequence of events involving three or four sets of criminals, all on their way to get the diamond, either intentionally or by accident.
		To be fair, though, Snatch isn't so much interested in its characters' psychologies as it is in their actions and reactions, displayed in amped-up, double-quick time.
		That it's the piker (whom most all of them deride at first, not least for the fact that they can't understand a word he says) who teaches the rest of them a thing or two about loyalty and trust may be something of a moral.

	Snatch review
		The film, like its predecessor, follows the interwoven travels of various types of gangsters in London's underworld.
		The director skillfully combines an electric montage with an eclectic soundtrack (Oasis, Massive Attack, Mirwais and of course Madonna) and caustic dialogues.
		The film, like its humor, is abrasive and continues at a tireless pace.

	Snatch Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		That is the question posed upon viewing "Snatch", the latest offering from the same director who made a splash two years ago with the cult crime-comedy "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels".
		Like the 1998 film, "Snatch" is composed of a series of separate stories ties together by an 84 karat diamond.
		The various story threads in "Snatch" also don't come together as tightly as they did in "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels", and there is a definite lull in the proceedings as the film enters the third act and the story just about runs out of steam.

	Snatch - Movie - Film.com
		Snatch poses a very important question: Where is the stone?
		This is a caper about a diamond heist gone helter-skelter, the rough-and-tumble world of bare- knuckle boxing, an unpredictable Irish gypsy and a dog.
		Ritchie strives to be an original talent, and although comparisons of "Snatch" to "Pulp Fiction" might be inevitable, he certainly has created his own sense of directorial style.

		It's a film about confusion, dumb plots, and drastic mistakes made by people who think they're smart when really they are all dumb as lamposts.
		The first few minutes of Snatch looked like it was going to be a cash-in imitation of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but Snatch quickly developed its own story and characters.
		Both "Lock, Stock" and Snatch are stylistically similar presentation-wise in a Pulp Fiction (1994) kind of way: Characters involved with various criminal activity are unaware of each other's presence throughout most of the movie, but then they are ultimately all connected by the closing credits.

	Snatch - Schweine und Diamanten - Film, Kino, DVD
		Der Film fängt schon mal mit einer der besten Eröffnungssequenzen der Filmgeschichte an: In drei verschiedenen Regiestilen (langsamer Kameragenuß-Wildbruch hin zur kultigen Schnellschnittvorstellung aller Charaktere) unterteilt gibt der Film direkt zu Beginn seine Seele preis: Guy Ritchie weiß wo der Kult spriest und hat verdammt viele Einfälle.
		Doch Snatch ist nun wirklich keine Komödie sondern ein Gangsterfilm.
		Nun in Snatch werdet Ihr ein 104-minütiges Trailerkribbeln verspühren, da der Regisseur ganz genau weiß an welchen Stellen er den Zeitraffer oder das Standbild plazieren muß, um den Zuschauer hoffnungslos durchgehend bei Laune zu halten.

		So the title is sort of a joke: the thing that is snatched throughout the movie is an 86-carat diamond and all the men who snatch it really care about is money (or saving their own lives, once the plot gets going).
		However, they tended to work in this film, because it uses a quick-cut editing technique that hurries the movie along for the most part, but that lends itself to being dramatically slowed down, sped up or recolored in many different ways.
		I don't think it's a great achievement, necessarily, and that film historians will look back on "Snatch" as a great film, but I do think it's an interesting one that was exciting to watch and then think about later.

	Film Blather: Snatch
		I'll be honest: I couldn't follow every thread of Snatch's manic story in one viewing, and there was no way I was going to subject myself to a second one, so the plot description here will be sketchy, at best.
		The prominent actor, who remains inconspicuous despite roles in blockbusters like Space Cowboys, Mission: Impossible 2 and on a lesser scale Eyes Wide Shut and Stigmata, gets the most out of what is essentially an overblown caricature.
		By the time Snatch, overlong at 102 minutes, drew to a close it had lost me, not only with its storyline (that happened about an hour before) but with just about everything.
