Snatch is the fantastic follow up from director Guy Ritchie, he of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels fame. While Lock Stock was awesome, Snatch is even better.

With Lock, Standard... numerous two-dimensional mockneys double-crossed each other as regards the account of two shot-guns; in Snatch, it's a diamond, smuggled into London by Frankie Four-Fingers (Del Toro). And like its predecessor, Snatch's machination mechanics are initiated when its antihero (in this case Statham's boxing promoter, Turkish) finds himself in debt to a neighbourhood ganglord (played by Ford, with wonderful threat). This dead for now because his boxer (a gypsy unvarnished-knuckle f...
