| Movie Description A wild and tangled crime adventure involving gangsters, Irish gypsies, and a dog that can't stop swallowing things, S***** is both hilarious and action-packed. Jewel thief Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) is in London en route to New York, where he will deliver an 86-karat diamond to his boss, Avi (Dennis Farina). A compulsive gambler, Franky is tempted into an illegal boxing scam, becoming the unwitting suspect in a robbery committed by bumbling pawnshop owners Vinny (Robbie Gee), Sol (Lennie James), and their oaf-of-a-driver, Tyrone (Ade). Meanwhile, novice boxing promoter Turkish (Jason Statham), and his dim-witted partner, Tommy (Stephen Graham), move into the "big time" with twisted crime boss, Brick Top (Alan Ford), and Mickey, a mumbling, unhinged Irish gypsy boxer (Brad Pitt). Thrown into the proceedings are killers Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones) and Boris the Blade (Rade Sherbedgia). A stylized work with a gritty urban soundtrack and a cast of intricately developed characters, S***** delivers superb and witty dialogue while depicting one of the more zany, complex diamond heists ever portrayed in film.

The budget for S***** was only $6 million. Shot in London, with principal photography for the film beginning in October of 1999. After Guy Ritchie's first feature, LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, Brad Pitt phoned the director and asked to be in his next movie. Pitt, who normally gets paid around $20 million for a film, agreed to a much smaller fee and the same trailer as the other actors. "He was one of the lads right from the start," said Ritchie about Pitt, "a top boy who doesn't mince around." Pitt's character, Mickey, was originally supposed to be a huge, overweight Irishman, but the part was altered somewhat when he signed on to the film. On the set, Ritchie devised a "fine system" to keep a tight ship: fining cast and crew for everything from having mobile phones, arriving late, taking naps during shooting, to being "cheeky" and unfunny, and moaning. "Unfortunately, I was one of the ones who suffered the most," said Ritchie of his system. Ritchie has said that casting was key: "The roles needed coarseness as well as credibility. It's no good getting Shakespearean actors to play violent cockney gang members." Scottish actor Ewan Bremner makes a cameo as Mullet. British electronica artist Goldie appears briefly as Lincoln. The film was originally titled DIAMONDS, but the title was taken by another film before production began, so Ritchie had to change it to S*****. The Austin Chronicle named S***** one of the 10 best films of 2000.

Reviews  SNATCH Simply a fun movie. Lots of laughs. Wacky characters and ridiculous story line. Jason Statham's character displays endless dry humour and the supporting cast, including the chew-toy & diamond swallowing dog are spot on. A must-have.

Remember names too, which isn't too hard by the way to movie does introductions. Very funny as well. Definately a staple for a movie collection. Review ID: 10000000007337616 Was this review helpful? Report this review watch and watch againReview created: 04/30/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. At first it was hard to get into the flow of the movie. Since it's a foreign movie it moves a little differently. Brad Pitt's character annoyed me since I couldn't understand a word he was saying and I kind of let that throw me off. It was only during the second or third watching that I began to pick up on the complexities of the characters and really got into the movie. Wonderful movie. I bought a copy for my husband, he's usually the 'first 30 minutes' kind of guy (american movies) and it's going to be a challenge for him to get past that to understand the genius of the movie. I have no doubt he will and it will become a favorite of his also. Review ID: 10000000006906009 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
