If you thought Guy Ritchie's first mockney extravaganza was a patchy bit of business, you ain't seen nothing yet. Snatch has fantastic moments - - the opening credits and the boxing match stand out - - but they're surrounded by cripplingly lazy plotting and dialogue cobbled together from the word "fuck" and assorted weak-arsed rhyming slang. Ritchie's got flair, but he needs to match it with effort.
DVD Extras:
Commentary by director and producer, Stealing Stones option which allows you view deleted scenes, Making Of documentary, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, soundbite interviews, assorted trailers, storyboard comparisons, select-a-song function, photos, production notes, filmographies, hidden extras. With much of the content used at least twice under different categories (the soundbites crop up in the documentary, the deleted scenes in the Stealing Stones option) the packed-looking feature list is deceptive. That said, even if the commentary runs badly out of steam before the end, what's there is entertaining enough in a home video kind of way.
