A Guy Ritchie<\/a> movie branded one of the \u2018greatest British films’ ever has quietly been added to the Amazon Prime Video<\/a> slate, ready for fans to rewatch.<\/p>\n

Snatch first hit the big screen in 2000, following the criminal goings-on in London<\/a>\u2019s underworld \u2013 including the hunt for a missing diamond, and the fixing of various boxing matches.<\/p>\n

Jason Statham<\/a> led the star-studded cast as Turkish, beside Stephen Graham<\/a>, Benicio del Toro<\/a>, Mike Reid<\/a>, Vinnie Jones<\/a>, Lennie James<\/a>, and a scene-stealing turn from Brad Pitt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite being released more than two decades ago, it has remained an absolute favorite of film fans all over the world \u2013 and sparked a spin-off series <\/a>with Luke Pasqualino, Rupert Grint<\/a>, Lucien Laviscount and Phoebe Dynevor.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, we can catch up with Turkish, Tommy, Tyrone, Bullet Tooth Tony and co as Snatch is now on Amazon Prime Video for users in the US, as well as those in the UK.<\/p>\n

The movie currently claims a huge Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> score of 93%, compared to a critics ranking of 74%.<\/p>\n

\u2018Guy Ritchie at his Guy Ritchiest,\u2019 Paris V posted on the platform. \u2018One of the greatest films ever made. Possibly my favorite movie.<\/p>\n

\u2018It’s got action, comedy, drama, twists, and a long list of one-liners. – D’ya like dags? – No thank you, Turkish; I’m sweet enough. – It was two minutes five minutes ago.\u2019<\/p>\n

David B wrote: \u2018One of the greatest British films made. Actors, script, direction .. everything SPOT ON. It’s worth watching more than once, which I very, VERY rarely say. Well done, Guy Ritchie!\u2019<\/p>\n

Midwest G agreed: \u2018Guy Richie’s absolute best work. This is the platonic ideal of the genera that many movies have attempted to recreate but have not surpassed.<\/p>\n

‘The dialog is razor sharp, the pacing is on point, and the story is magnificent.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Guy Ritchie is at his best with this film,\u2019 Gage Y insisted. \u2018The comedy is never ending, the story is fast paced and absolutely insane, and the actors bounce off each other flawlessly.<\/p>\n

\u2018The film absolutely bonkers in all of the best type of ways. 5\/5.\u2019<\/p>\n

As Richard W added: \u2018The kind of movie you can watch over and over and find something new to enjoy each time. A true classic.\u2019<\/p>\n

Snatch served as a reunion between filmmaker Guy and a string of the same actors from his previous movie, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels<\/a> \u2013 including Jason, Vinnie and Alan Ford.<\/p>\n

It turns out that Brad was a huge fan of the 1998 flick, and personally called the director, asking for a part in his next project \u2013 which is how bare-knuckle boxer Mickey O\u2019Neil came about.<\/p>\n

\u2018He called me and told me that he wanted to be part of whatever I was doing next,\u2019 Guy previously told Esquire.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his career at that point, in a chat with Landmark Cinemas, the Ocean\u2019s Eleven actor agreed: \u2018At that time, I did something that I felt was very commercial, and I was really interested to see what new directors were doing and what was coming out.<\/p>\n

\u2018So, I was viewing everything of first-time directors, and I saw this movie, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, by this cat named Guy Ritchie. And so, I called him up and said, \u201cHey, I really like what you’re doing, and if there’s anything that I could fit in, then let’s talk.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n

However, Brad was left panicking over the role as he couldn\u2019t get a hang of the Irish dialect, leading to sleepless nights and a very interesting accent in the final cut.<\/p>\n

\u2018The dialect is unintelligible, contrary to being trained to be clear and understood,\u2019 he added. \u2018And so, I was working on the accent and trying to be clear and understood, and it wasn’t working.\u2019<\/p>\n

He ended up leaving his lines as \u2018unintelligible\u2019 as possible, and the rest is cinematic history\u2026<\/p>\n

Snatch is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
