Snatch (UMD)
Posted on Mar 25, 2008 under electronic toys |
A wild and tangled crime adventure involving gangsters Irish gypsies and a dog that can’t stop swallowing things ‘Snatch’ is both hilarious and action-packed. Jewel thief Franky Four Fingers is in London en route to New York where he will deliver an 86-karat diamond to his boss Avi. A compulsive gambler Franky is tempted into an illegal boxing scam becoming the unwitting suspect in a robbery committed by bumbling pawnshop owners Vinny Sol and their oaf-of-a-driver Tyrone. Meanwhile novice boxing promoter Turkish and his dim-witted partner Tommy move into the big time with twisted crime boss Brick Top and Mickey a mumbling unhinged Irish gypsy boxer and his band of travelling Pykies. Thrown into the proceedings are killers Bullet Tooth Tony and Boris the Blade. A stylised work with a gritty urban soundtrack and a cast of intricately developed characters ‘Snatch’ delivers superb and witty dialogue while depicting one of the more zany complex diamond heists ever portrayed in film.
