This is an interesting movie that keeps you entertained while it tells the story of an airline attendant who gets caught in a tough situation. I like that she makes her own (elaborate) plans on how she wants to cope with a bad situation. I don't want to tell too much, so I'll leave it at that, except to say that it is a movie really worth your time.

I enjoyed this movie more than I had expected. While there is ample humor it is the dramatic aspects that really get to you. There aren't completely good or bad people -- although the girlfriend gets close to being a really bad person -- so you get a fuller idea of who each person truly is. This feels like a true story type of movie, but I don't know if it is.

This is a really good movie that I found stayed with me after watching it. Acting by James Spader is especially good. When you see this movie you will understand why they decided to make a TV series based upon it, complete with its' own spinoff, 'Stargate Atlantis'.
What's great about it: Plot and acting are especially good.
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 (Benicio Del Toro) is in London en route to New York, where he will deliver an 86-karat diamond to his boss, Avi (Dennis Farina). a compulsive gambler, Franky is tempted into an illegal boxing scam, becoming the unwitting suspect in a robbery committed by bumbling pawnshop owners Vinny (Robbie Gee), Sol (Lennie James), and their oaf-of-a-driver, Tyrone (Ade). Meanwhile, novice boxing promoter Turkish (Jason Statham), and his dim-witted partner, Tommy (Stephen Graham), move into the big time with twisted crime boss, Brick Top (Alan Ford), and Mickey, a mumbling, unhinged Irish gypsy boxer (Brad Pitt). Thrown into the proceedings are killers Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) and Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia). Directed by Guy Ritchie. Starring Brad Pitt, Benicio Del Toro, Jason Statham.

No matter how many times I've seen this movie, I still laugh out loud every time I watch it. Brad Pitt is in rare form as a gypsy with a largely undecipherable accent, and a memorable character named "Boris the Blade" (aka: "Boris the Bullet Dodger") proves to be almost immortal. This is a great 'caper' movie, as well as a gangster, boxing, and jewel heist movie. As for the squeaking dog -- well, you will just have to see it for yourself!
What's great about it: Wonderful writing and acting

This film is a curious mix of Sci Fi and a murder mystery, with great acting by Rufus Sewell and William Hurt and Keifer Sutherlin. I've seen it at least three times and still I find new understanding every time I watch it. The plot is not predictable and the set contains an interesting mixture from many different eras. Special effects are very well done. I heartily recommend this movie!
What's great about it: Acting is great, plot is intriguing
What's not so great: Need to watch it more than once to get it all
