Avi fires wildly at the fleeing dog, accidentally killing Tony, and returns to New York City emptyhanded. The film shares themes, ideas, and motifs with Ritchie’s first film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. With a 74% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film – described as „twisty, fun and high energy” by Entertainment Today – also spawned a 2017 series starring Rupert Grint, Luke Pasqualino, Lucien Laviscount, and Phoebe Dynevor. I tried, but I can’t write a real review of this movie because it’s too fucking awesome. An entertaining romp of a crime caper flick that wants to be funny more than it wants to be dangerous or mysterious. As Ritchie’s second feature film, Snatch is well done and shows inklings of the master craftsman he will eventually become.

Mickey agrees to fight to avoid further carnage, but gets so drunk at his mother’s wake that Turkish fears he will ruin the fixed match.
This was all planned by Mickey, avenging his mother while making huge winnings by secretly betting on himself. Confronted by Sol, Vinny, and Tyrone at a pub, Tony scares them off after noticing their guns are harmless replicas. A heavily armed Boris arrives and is killed by Tony, while Sol and Vinny escape with the diamond. Tony catches up to them, and they lie that the diamond is at their pawn shop, where Vinny accuses his dog, which he was given earlier by the Travellers, of eating it. When Avi tells Tony to kill the dog, Vinny produces the diamond, which the dog snatches and swallows before running off back to the Travellers’ campsite.
