It's an action flick not a mystery. But, it's America, I guess that's to be expected.


This is why I was so disappointed with the movie. I thought it would be like other Ritchie films and it turned out to be nothing but a ridiculous over the top action flick.

Having said that I didn't hate it, I was just disappointed by it.

I like the BBC Sherlock but I hate waiting a 1000 years for just a few episodes.

Haha. I just found out the other day there are 5 episodes. When I finished the 3rd one I was like wtf Netflix. Are you really leaving us hanging like this? No idea why they only carry three episodes.

The Snatch dvd has a subtitle option you can turn on that shows only what Mickey says

For every action, there is a reaction. And a Pikey reaction... is quite a fricking thing.

Not sure where you heard there were five since there are only 3 with only 3 more in the second series which hasn't aired yet.

Snatch is a movie that makes remember why I like movies. It's seriously a top 10 movie for me...maybe. Lock, Stock is great, but I like Snatch more, probably because I saw it first. Loved Rocknrolla too.

Hmm. I just looked on imdb and it had the actors being in 5 episodes for the series so I figured that was it. Didn't know the other three hadn't been released.

Favorite scene from RockNRolla.

This flick has all the Guy Richie regulars, but also has Ludacris, Jeremy Piven, Gerard Butler, Tom Hardy, and Thandie Newton's fine arse. Like I said. If you like Richie's style it's definitely worth the watch.

Well with that kind of cast Richie had to move fast to keep them together. He has the script written, but with Sherlock 2 coming up he doesn't have the time to do the second movie. It's already been three years since the first one. If it's another two year wait I don't see how it could get made.

Lock Stock was a great movie, Snatch was okay. I've never heard anyone rate Snatch as better before, but to each his own. People rate much worse movies over better ones all the time.

RocknRolla is probably the worst movie Guy Ritchie put out.

In the Director's commentary for Snatch, Guy Ritchie mentions that it was a last-second idea to cast that actor as Tyrone. He knew Ade personally, I think he was doing something like security on the set at first.

As a fan of RnR, I'd say this bodes well for GR's resumé.

My other option is Snatch. I have a copy and been meaning to watch it. Which one?


Can't go wrong with either one. Both really good movies and shows what Guy Ritchie is capable of when Madonna is not around.

You weren't supposed to. They made a point to have Turkish say how hard it was to understand Pikeys. That's one of the things that made them so hard to deal with.

I can. Thought it was a better Ritchie movie than Snatch.

Loved this movie. One of my all time favs. Saw it before Snatch so I'm biased and say Lock Stock is better than Snatch, but I loved Snatch and Rocknrolla as well.
