movie review - Snatch

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.11.10

Funny, fast, violent. Pitt chocks up another great performance, and shows how far he's come since his dismal earlier days. This movie is from the same writer and director as Lock, Stock, and two Smoking Barrels, and features half the same cast.

Recommended.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
