synopsis
When a dizzying robbery takes place in the Orthodox Jewish diamond district, a flawless 86-carat gem, the size of an infant's fist, is lifted in the snatch. Taking it to London, the diamond's thief and courier, Franky Four Fingers arrives in the city as a stopover en route to New York to deliver the huge diamond to his bigwig crime boss, Avi. But because Franky can't resist temptation and London is a town with its share of illegal trade, a small crowd of miscreants and malefactors eventually ends up chasing each other and the whereabouts of the diamond. These include: Doug the Head, a jeweler who pretends he's Jewish because it's good for business; Boris the Blade, a Russian gangster with a deserved reputation for being impossible to kill; Bullet Tooth Tony, a legendary hard guy and Brick Top, perhaps the scariest of the lot.

This gonzo guy flick, about low-rent London scuzzballs involved in a diamond heist, does not feature Mrs. Ritchie, though tribute is paid when her Eighties hit "Lucky Star" blares on a car
Ritchie strives to be an original talent, and although comparisons of "Snatch" to "Pulp Fiction" might be inevitable, he certainly has created his own sense of directorial style. "Snatch" mixes it up with lightning-fast editing (Avi has his passport stamped, his drink polished off and his flight from New York to London completed in a matter of seconds), great music, and plot twists and turns (the boxing matches, the pig farm, the gypsy camp, car chases, the pawn shop … how do they all
