Very cartoonish, but still quite a lark, with lots of Ritchie’s kinetic directorial style.

With this morbidly bouncy black comedy Ritchie finds a sneaky way to avoid sophomore slump: by passing his freshman tests all over again. And now for something completely different, please.

Ritchie may be skilled at generating controlled chaos, but his surprise-a-minute strategy ultimately holds no surprises.

As Ritchie's second feature film, Snatch is well done and shows inklings of the master craftsman he will eventually become.
