Snatch



Snatch is a film directed by Guy Ritchie, set in London England. It involves many different stories lines that are all, in some way connect to each other. The film contains many flashbacks as it begins with an interview that is actually the end of the movie. The story ties in many East End gangsters, American diamond dealers and pikes, which is a colloquial term used in the film to describe travellers.  The film uses a lot of crude but clever humour that can be dark in many cases. This is a great example of dark, English comedy. Dramatic irony is represented very strongly throughout the whole film as the stories are connected. The irony however, is that none of the characters know each other and are oblivious to this, until the end. This is one of my favourite films and an excuse to watch it again couldn't be missed. Perfect.
