Guy Ritchie
has never looked back. A few more films like Lock, Stock...
and he might even stop being called Mr. Madonna.
Sadly
Snatch is unlikely to boost his profile, especially
as Ms.Ciccone is again stealing the headlines having just
given birth to a baby boy and enjoying another number one
hit with Music.
It's not
that Snatch is a bad film, it just had so much to live
up to.
What you
have is several stories which eventually weave into a whole.
So there is a diamond heist, illegal boxing promoters, a colourful
Irish gypsy and a dog!

you know smoking's bad for you |
This
brings its own problems. If anything there are too many
characters and many are not at all interesting.
But
all is not lost. Brad Pitt is the big name Hollywood movie
star who in Snatch plays One Punch Mickey, an Irish
gypsy who you don't mess around with.
Not
that you'd want to mess with any of the characters, especially
Bullet tooth Tony, another hard act portrayed by former
footballer Vinnie Jones.
Keep
an eye out for Eastenders Mike Reid, who has temporarily
left the Queen Vic behind, to play the role of diamond
dealer Doug the Head. What would Peggy, or indeed Pat,
say??
Snatch
is better than Lock, Stock the television series
but will always pale into the shadows when pitted against
Guy Ritchie's original movie.
