I don't really have a favorite film. I tend to love all the films I watch. But if I had to chose, I'd probably have to talk about the film called Snatch.
This film is one of the best rated films of people my age as well as other films: City of God, In Burgges to name a few; Guy Ritchie makes sure that the plot twists, turns and goes feet in the air in the fast paced action comedy.
The film follows a series of characters all linked to two issues, one them involving the characters Turkish and Tommy as they work for Brick Top to rig bare knuckle boxing fights to win money they’ve bet. Their main boxer hospitalized in a bare knuckle boxing fight against ‘One punch’ Mikey, so they are forced to use a wildcard Irish gypsy boxer. Unfortunately he proves to be unreliable as he refuses to “go down in the fourth” and so BrickTop the local kingpin has it in for the three of them.
The other story involves Sol, Vinny and a dog against Avi with his motley crew in the pursuit of “A diamond as big as your fist”. It sets out as normal run for ex-gambit Franky Four Fingers, diamond thief and courier, who is tempted by Borris “the Blade” to participate in one of BrickTop’s rigged matches – pawnshop owners Vinny and Sol are told by Borris to rob Franky at the Bookies which then goes haywire when Avi finds out that Franky has been robbed.
The plot is cleverly written, both of the stories are mashed together as each cleverly overlaps the other and rollicks through the grimy underworld of gangster
The opening to the film is quick fire and illustrative introducing the characters in a situation that best shows off their personalities.
With Jason Statham (Turkish) narrating his story, the other plotline seems to be shunted out of the way most of the time. There is too much familiarity with its predecessor “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”. Even though Ritchie cleverly weaves the stories into one the writing can be cheesy at times, the comedy is plentiful and will have you rocking with laughter at some point or two.

such a great blog. so full of thoughts. so greeeeen.
sounds like you're having fun. think of mr v having to link all those other blogs. must have been up all night. me? watching Desperate Housewives. and to think i didn't watch the first few episodes because the trailers and titles suggested they were really 'desperate'. no-one wants to see that sort of sadness on a wednesday night! think they got the marketing a bit wrong there.
keep up the blog. it's great.
