Really Surprised!

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

The first must-see film of the year.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I was almost put off by the "most helpful" review for this which described it as somewhat dull, I always tell myself not take too much notice and glad I didn't. This lives well and truly up to it's title - Snatch! based on the movie of course. It's a mixture of typical cockney gangster crime with the comedy mixed in and a number of scenes also relate to the movie. So it was right up my street and loved every minute of it. The actors play their characters perfect. It was fantastic to see Tamer Hassan, one of my favourite actors. Also Luke Pasqualino who was brilliant in Skins as well as Lucien Laviscount and Marc Warren. Other main actors were also spot on!They've done such a good job of this first series that they no longer need to relate to the movie and can make it entirely their own in the future. I hope it continues for years, about time we had something like this on our screens for those that love this genre.

I get this free with my BT subscription, which is the only good thing I can say about this show, which is beyond bad! It's even beyond awful!! I remember the original Snatch at the cinema- I even own it on blue-ray- but this is a poor man's knock off version of the movie. Even the way these guys talk seems forced, contrived and fake- it's one thing hearing these words from Jason Statham but it's another thing hearing it from the 3 leads! Add in an over the top Colombian "gangster" and his obese cuddly sidekick who's about as menacing as wet custard and the most inept wannabe "streetwise" gang outside of an Ealing comedy. And Rupert Grint is extremely bad in this as well…….shockingly bad! With the amount of mistakes he makes along the way and his big mouth, he would have been put out to pasture years ago!One more thing-the scene of the three Jewish guys with the diamonds in the taxi was one of the most embarrassing, nauseating, cringey, forced scenes I've ever watched!!! Stopped watching this garbage halfway through episode 3 and reached for my laptop just to post this. So, so, sooooooooo bad!!!!!!

If you're looking for an exact remake of the original film this show is not it. However that doesn't meant that it isn't awesome. The show is a loving wink and nod to the movie, incorporating familiar bit's and pieces along with camera shots reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's style. An incredibly enjoyable comedy mixed in with loads of witty dialogue, action, drama, sweetness and topsy turvy adventures. The acting is great, comedic timing is on point and every episode is better than the last. The one thing the show has that the movie didn't is strong female characters who are intelligent, artful and crucial to the success of the group. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Snatch and getting pulled in by all of the great range of characters and the wonderful job the actors did portraying them.

The cast of the show was pretty well chosen, everyone seemed to fit their parts well, those not familiar with the source material might balk at the stereotypical sometimes even racist depictions of some of the characters, but its all to a point. The original film much like this show wouldn't win any major awards but at the same time it shouldn't be fed to the pigs like many other "tv series" adaptations.the first thing you notice about this is whats missing, like the lack of the characters "Turkish, Gorgeous George, Tommy (and his sausages that even by the end of the movie still aren't cooked)" and Alan Fords "Bricktop" however key points being the main bit of the story, the main character loses loads of money in a rigged fight he was trying to win with his boxer, coming upon a large fortune that everyone's interested in, and of course the pikeys.id call this a decent adaptation but really hope that we see something more of it, at only 10 episodes and a lot of the source left untouched, there's plenty for a second season to hopefully make a better impression. especially if they bring Alan Ford into the mix,
