Guy Ritchie, Writer/Director of "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" delivers another awe-inspiring directorial masterpiece, Snatch - an edgy and hilarious film about a diamond heist gone wrong, a colorful Irish gypsy turned prize fighter...and a very tempermental dog.
In the heart of gangland, two novice unlicensed boxing promoters, Turkish (Jason Statham) and Tommy (Stephen Graham) get roped into organising a bare-knuckle fight with local kingpin villian and fellow boxing promoter, Brick Top (Alan Ford). But all goes wrong when Brick Top's fighter, who is rigged to win, is suddenly knocked out by the boy's wildcard Irish gypsy boxer, One Punch Mickey O'Neill (Brad Pitt). Unfortunately things go from bad to worse as Mickey starts playing by his own rules and the duo find themselves heading for a whole lot of trouble...
Meanwhile en route to New York to deliver a stolen 86 carat diamond to head honcho Avi (Dennis Farina), Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) is robbed of the stone. Forced to jump on the next plane to London, Avi is by no means pleased. He hires local legend, Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) to find Franky and the diamond. The hunt for the missing stone launches everyone into a spiral of double-crossing vendettas as different parties pursue personal agendas, some of them farcical, most of them illegal, and all of them destined to spin completely out of control.....
