Famous for Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Guy Ritchie is back with America's golden boy, Brad Pitt, and man's man, Jason Statham. This star-studded cast and crew are bringing something new to the table, a film with equal emphasis placed on the multiple key characters, where time plays an interesting role in the unveiling of their connections.
The Competition
Crash (2004)
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Quentin Tarantino's first well-known film features an extensive cast that after a heist goes wrong begins to turn on each other. This thriller brings a group of vastly different criminals together that are all vying for the same thing, money.
Positioning
Snatch embodies different plot aspects found in Crash, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs such as the use of a cast comprised of multiple key characters, the intertwining of different lives, and of course, an abundance of violence.
Comparison
Although some aspects are shared among the four films, Snatch is in a league of it's own. One major identifier that sets it apart from the rest is Guy Ritchie's cinematic style. Another difference is the demographics of the people the story is centered around. You have bookies, pikeys, boxers, fake Jewish jewelers, gambling addicts, etc. Ritchie was able to encompass a vastly different group of people into a woven storyline.
