I have read so many reviews of this film that say it's a pale imitation of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (the director's first film), so I guess I enjoyed Snatch more since I didn't see Lock, Stock. I thought the plot was pretty funny, very twisted (so you have to pay attention), and the bizarre cultural aspects were interesting, too. My favorite thing was the camera work, though, with the award going to representing an international flight by quick cuts of a guy drinking a shot in an airplane seat and having his passport stamped - so fast that it makes you laugh. The only thing I didn't like was the complete lack of ladies in the plot! If the girls get Brad Pitt, what do we get?
