Hey mates, Harry here with a look from Black Rubber Waving Harry at Guy Ritchie's disgusting filthy violent convulsively entertaining sounding odor=filled SNATCH. BRWH has read the script, and has gone and spilt a detail or two... so if you would... or could... refrain from continuing, then that would very well be your choice in the matter and not me own. There are SPOILERS below... but I don't be feeling that it'd make a grand difference, one way or another it sounds like a kickass followup to a Kickass debut...
Hi I'm not sure if you care but i recently read the final draft of snatch by Guy Ritchie. Needless to say, if you loved lockstock you'll love this and vice a versa - which is good - I loved lockstock and so did loads of others and to be able to come up with a huge array of great characters and some supremely witty dialouge for a second time is no mean feat. Plus there's the same nicely crafted inter weaving plot with small actions by one group of mugs creating havoc for others. Comic highlights include a brilliant 'squeaking' and farting dog - milk drinking 'Turkish' - and a pawn shop heist gone wrong.
BUT... its a bit too simlar for my liking to lock stock. Guy Ritchie is sticking to what he knows - and after a brilliantly querky and surreal opening involving 3 fat jews its quite sad just to see him cowardly returning to the tested track for the rest of the film. Plus Brad Pitt has obviously been thrown in as Micky to give the film guaranteed international recognition. There is no way Brad suits it. Mickey is a small pikie - a tough dirty midget of a gypsy who lives in a carvan and loves his mam, with the ability to knock out huge hefers of men out in one punch. Yes i've seen Fight Club (its great), but no he still ain't close. And there's also a censorship problem. Hares get ripped apart by dogs but more worringly is the explicit nature of one scene in an underground dog-fight. Overall I reckon it'll be great - but definately have the good sequel style of sucess rather than 'oh my god he's a directing genius' style of sucess he's probably capable of.
Black Rubber Waving Harry foching out
