Guy Richie passes the mark for British film again with this award winning extravaganza, 'Snatch' has become a legendary Brit film, Guy Rickie's in defiantly a genius. 'Snatch' Summary: Jason Statham plays 'Turkish', an unlicensed boxing promoter that just happens to get involved with a diamond heist along with his friend 'Tommy' (Stephan Graham). What does he know about diamonds, absolutely nothing. His latest boxing champs set out for a big fight in a few days, even the local gangster 'Brick Top' (Alan Ford) wants a piece of the action. After taking a look at Gorgeous George (Adam Fogerty) (the fighter) Brick Top decides to host the fight, taking illegal bets at his underground bookies. Turkish knows he can't disappoint Brick Top, if you make him look like a fool you're placed in Brick Top's pocket, and once you're in his pocket there's no way you're getting out. With the big fight in a few days Turkish decides to spruce up his office, he wants a new caravan to run his business out of. So he sends 'Tommy' to a Picky camp to buy a decent caravan for at least £10,000, Turkish needs a professional look. Just in case of any incidents 'Tommy' takes 'Gorgeous George' for the ride, on arrival to the camp they hope to negotiate a deal with 'Mr o' Neil' or Mickey as they call him (Brad Pitt) to buy a caravan. With all the hype about pi-keys from 'Gorgeous George' they seem to negotiate pretty quickly on a deal. 'Tommy' and 'Gorgeous' attach the caravan and there on their way, right until the caravan's weal's fall apart and it plummets t the floor on the pi key campsite. Obviously mad 'Tommy' confronts Mickey but he won't take back the caravan, he says he'll fight 'Gorgeous' for a refund. Agreeing to the proposal Gorgeous and Mickey get it underway in the back of a barn in a cage fight. Numerous hard hits floor Mickey into the mud, he's beaten and bloody but he won't give up, he seems to be waiting for the right time to fight back. One hit from Mickey lands Gorgeous unconscious and in intensive care. Tommy's just put Brick Top's fighter in hospital, there now in his pocket. To try and replace the fighter they won't to use the Pikey, they don't have another choice, they do or die in the hands of Brick Top, who would then feed them to his pigs, but what does this have to do with diamonds you ask? 'Frankie Four Fingers'(Benicio Del Toro) stole a diamond the size of a fist, he needs a dealer to sell it, that would be 'Cousin Avi' (Dennis Farina), an American diamond dealer. They plan to meet up in England With 'Doug The Head', Avi's cousin in London. The only other person that has other ideas is 'Boris The Blade' (Rade Serbedzija), the sneaky Russian that just won't die hired 'Sol' (Lennie James) and 'Vincent' (Robee Gee) (two jeweler's) to rob a bookies and wait for 'Frankie Four Fingers', to steal the brief case he carries. In possession of the briefcase 'Sol' and 'Vincent' realize that there's a huge diamond involved. 'Boris' on the other hand had other plans again, he hands them ten grand and makes them a deal, the diamond or death, it has to be the diamond. On the news that Frankie Four Fingers has lost to Diamond 'Cousin Avi' flies into London, for help in the search he hires 'Bullet Tooth Tony' (Vinnie Jones), the infamous hard man that survived six bullets through his chest in one sitting. It just so happens that the bookie's belonged to 'Brick Top', and on observing the CCTV his henchmen recognize one of the thieves 'Tyrone' (Ade), the getaway driver for 'Sol' and 'Vincent'. On arrival at the bookies 'Brick Top' stats his mark, if they don't hand him the diamond within 48 hours he'll feed all three of the too his pigs, there lucky he was negotiable. 'Brick Top' wants the diamond and so does 'Boris', along with 'Cousin Avi', 'Doug The Head', 'Frankie Four Fingers', 'Sol', 'Vincent' and 'Bullet Tooth Tony'. 'Turkish' and 'Tommy' have to keep the 'Pikey' (Mickey) in line and sober for his big fight.
