    The New York Times A.O. Scott

    Mr. Ritchie seems to be stepping backward when he should be moving ahead.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    Follows the "Lock, Stock" formula so slavishly it could be like a new arrangement of the same song.

    Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

    Guy Ritchie's second feature, is a faux tough caper modeled lock, stock, kit, and caboodle on his earlier film ''Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.''

    Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

    Mr. Ritchie is back with more of the same in his second feature, a comedy called "Snatch" that's a sort of lethal pinball machine in which even more picturesque characters bounce from pillage to post.

    Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

    Even if it's not quite as lighter than air as its predecessor, Snatch remains a lethal diversion.

    USA Today Susan Wloszczyna

    All about macho my-weapon-is-bigger-than-your-weapon posturing and far-fetched coincidences that slam together in an entertaining rush.

    Chicago Tribune Mark Caro

    The abundance of visual and verbal wit here ensures that the pleasure of watching Snatch need not be guilty.

not for kids

Eccentric characters, lively banter, adults only.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that characters use frequent racial, ethnic, and religious slurs. In this criminal world, the issue of law is non-existent. Murder and theft are depicted as a way of life in an ostensibly non-criminal group (jewelers). The ensemble says "f--k" about as much as the average teenager says "like." All of the characters are gangsters and criminals, most of whom drink, smoke, swear, and brawl on a continual basis. A brief scene in a bar includes topless dancers. A deck of playing cards with photos of bare-breasted women is seen. Strong but comic violence is the movie's rason d'etre.

  • Families can talk about whether the plot really mattered in this movie, or if other elements took over.
