Snatch
In the movie Snatch, written and directed by Guy Ritchie, “an unscrupulous boxing promoters, violent bookmakers, a Russian gangster, two incompetent amateur robbers, and supposed Jewish jewelers fight to track down a priceless stolen diamond” (Filmtwob). The main cast is composed by Jason Statham, Brad Pitt and Benicio Del Toro.
Snatch is a movie written for a specific type of audience, because it had too many things going on at once. The producers tried to make it funny, but they seemed to try too hard, thus leading to over use of clichés in a movie that people were probably expecting action. Brad Pitt appears in the movie as Mickey an Irish traveler that loses his mother and then gets revenge at the boxing ring. That was one of the two plots. The other plot was about a circle of people in search of a diamond which is the main plot in the story, but the two are poorly mixed together making it easy to get lost. Also the pronunciation is hard to understand, because the actors were not speaking with their natural accent, this is mostly heard in the case of Brad Pitt.
This movie was very hard to understand, it had two plots and the actors had a forced accent. It is hard to keep up with the search for the diamond and the boxing match at the same time. Just because the movie was interpreted by good Hollywood actors it does not make it a good movie by default.
