Want to spend your evening watching a crazy gangster film with Brad Pitt, Jason Statham and Benicio Del Toro? So quickly watch “Snatch”, available on Netflix!
In 2000, British director Guy Ritchie, noticed two years earlier with Scams, Crimes and Botany, caused a sensation with Snatch, a supercharged and completely zany gangster film. Good news, this crazy thriller is available on Netflix!
The story of Snatch (whose VF title is complemented by a rather well-said “You steal or you steal”) is that of a man who has just stolen an enormous diamond. He has to deliver it to a New York mobster but nothing is really going to go as planned. There is no need to describe the sequence of events, we prefer to let you be surprised if you have never seen Guy Ritchie’s thriller… Because we are constantly surprised in this film with its tasty dialogues and crackling direction.
“With Snatch, I wanted to continue in the spirit of my previous film, Scams, Crimes and Botany, but by going further in cynicism and humor”says Guy Ritchie. “Unlike my first film where a group of friends found themselves involuntarily involved in the world of drugs, confronted with crime and violence, the characters in Snatch ARE this world of crime, but they are approached with a good dose of derision and madness.”
The success of this unbridled Snatch obviously owes a lot to its gallery of characters, each more bizarre than the last, and to the actors, for the most part real movie “faces”, who play them. If Jason Statham, Benicio Del Toro, Vinnie Jones or even Ewen Bremner excel on screen, we will especially remember the incredible performance of Brad Pitt as a gypsy boxer whose Irish accent from the nomadic community of Travelers is on the verge of decipherable. Irresistible.
New on Netflix: perfect but not enough, Brad Pitt built a dream body for this film but part of his anatomy still had to be doubled!
Offbeat, funny and nervous thriller, punctuated by a brilliant soundtrack and carried by actors who seem to be having fun like crazy, the jubilant Snatch is highly recommendable entertainment. To discover on the Netflix platform.
To conclude, note that a Snatch series, inspired by Guy Ritchie’s feature film, was created in 2017. Led by Rupert Grint, the Ron Weasley of the Harry Potter saga, it is made up of two seasons.
