How Many Have Seen "Snatch"

I've seen this flic twice now, and it gets better each time.

This is one very smart, very funny dark comedy / caper.

The directing, editing, pacing and acting performances are all first rate. This is almost a film noir on drugs - all the characters are larger than life.

Snatch reminds me of a Peter Sellers Pink Panther caper with a modern, Pulp Fiction type edge.

If you haven't seen this movie - take a chance and give it a try - you won't regret it and will laugh out loud more than once - guaranteed.

Rated R for violence and language, with some minor nudity.

    I own it, and love it.

    If you haven't already, rent/buy Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels also. Same director, same style, lots of the same actors, MUCH BETTER MOVIE IMO.

    I loved it too....soo much I bought it. Lox, Stock, and Two smoking barrels was excellent also. He also did a short movie w/ the BMW films calle "Star" with Madonna. That was nice.http://usa.bmwfilms.com/clap.asp?template=archive&country=usa&film=star

    I agree with all of the above. I borrowed it from a guy at work who says it gets better each time he watches it. I will eventually go out and buy my own copy. Will also try to find the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels...thanks for the tip.

    This is still one of my favorite movies.

    Jason Statham is a really good actor, IMO.

    Agreed.

    The Transporter, goofy as it was, was a fun action flick, in large part due to Statham. Rent that one if you haven't.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I actually like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels better. I think they do a better job of blending it all together in the end... and it's just plain funnier.

    Great and funny movie. I love the "One Hitter Quiter" that Brad Pitt used on the fighers. (I wonder if I can still do that?) I wanted to see the fight scenes just for the knockout punch. Tyrone was hilarious, and the dog. I may go home and watch it this weekend.
