Snatch

In 2000, Director Guy Ritchie brought a brilliant follow up to his critically acclaimed Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.  With Snatch, Ritchie exposes the hip, cool and violent view of London's gangster underground.  The movie is exceptional starting with the cast of larger than life characters in Jason Statham as an unlicensed boxing promoter,  Benicio Del Toro as jewel-thief Franky Four Fingers, Vinnie Jones as the legendary street assasin and Brad Pitt as the hilarious marble-mouthed boxer. The script is well written and brings Ritchie's characteristic fast-paced, yet twisting storylines. Not only was it considered "the coolest movie of the year" by Premiere Magazine, it is also a must see.
