Snatch: Um Novo Golpe

if you're looking for a throwback to the original Guy Ritchie masterpiece, this show is not what you are looking for. i was of this mindset before watching the show. what really defined snatch was the range of characters and different personalities that brought it together, and how there wasn't really a definition of bad guy or good guy. in this show, we obviously have some clear villains and the heroes. it tries to do camera angles, zooms, and overall cinematography and editing like the movie did, but not as effectively. the movie's was also heavily predicated on accidental and unintentional mishaps, which are present but not as prevalent in the show. what it is, though, is an enjoyable show with likable characters and pretty solid dialogue and writing. the acting isn't half bad, and the plot is very well thought up. the show is very unpredictable, unlike much of what comes on the screen in the crime genre these days, and i never find myself thinking "oh, of course that happened". i will reiterate, this is not the movie, and you will see minimal similarity with the movie, but don't let that cloud the fact that this isn't a bad show by any stretch. i will say that the flashback scenes that start each episode are kind of annoying, but i guess that's just a testament to how much I'm invested in the actual plot of the show. please do not be alarmed by the rating of this show. try at least an episode and a half before you call it quits.

the above was written three episodes into the show. having finished the entire first season, i have more to say. for one, after episode two and three the quality of the show stays about the same throughout, maybe getting a little better, but definitely not worse. there are definitely a couple of scenes and plot points that are very questionable, and if there were more experienced writers then maybe those could've been fixed, but they're relatively easy to look past. overall, it's a fun and entertaining show that really doesn't have any outstanding flaws. i highly recommend it if you like crime or heist movies and shows in general, or if you're looking to bang out a quick show over a couple days or a week, without any real long term attachment. it's definitely better than what you'll find on some big TV networks nowadays, and i personally really enjoyed it.

A very lightweight attempt at a TV series very lightly based on the excellent movie. The characters are fluffy pretty definitely not- criminal looking actors and the dialogue is completely uninteresting, unlike in the movie. The raw humor and sense of menace is missing. A real bastardization of the film, and a case study in why a director matters, a script matters, and realism matters. The epitome of why TV usually stinks.

First, the TV show isn't like the movie, if anything it feels as if it's trying to be the movie, and at a first glance I was happy to say that it failed at it's ambition. However, this changed over the course of the show. I began thinking less about the movie, and more about the show, the characters began developing, the story began to unfold carefully, though cliché. Snatch isn't about the movie, it's about it's own thing, style is key, characters are strong, the soundtrack is great.

I will not spoil anything, but this is a perfect show that could end on a season, thankfully, a second it's on it's way, and I cannot wait.

Much like a bland meal, this series was digestible, however lacked the depth and intensity of flavour characterised by so many great series. This was like a dry jacobs cream cracker. I mean I'm a man that can take a certain amount of satisfaction in eating a certain amount of dry jacobs cream crackers but after a while it does get somewhat tiresome. I think the actors are not to be blamed. They have done the best job with what they've got here, but the writers/producers/directors whilst not entirely doing a bad job, should be shot. Sit the writers down and make them watch all seasons of The Sopranos or any other great series let them learn some lessons, cah fa real, they've let every one down with this and that's not to say it's crap cos it's not but come on mate, the last episode especially, they run out of the warehouse with that money and straight out to about 10 cop cars and then proceed to put the money in the van without so much as one copper outside, the whole thing gets quite unbelievable in places. Also Rupter Grint is annoying, don't know why, he's just got one of those faces.

Its not the movie, I feel when making the show they knew they couldn't make something as good as Snatch, but what I felt they did amazingly is it captures the feel of the movie, with none of the big name actors, yet instead its full with an all young main cast who were very enjoyable to watch together.

The series follows a typical Snatch/ Lock Stock or similar movie type story of them constantly chasing the payday which keeps moving and I felt overall they did this well.

Don't get me wrong its not the best series ever with not the best script made ever but it captured the feeling of Snatch which I am very happy about.

I would rather watch more of this kind of series or movie then more superhero movies/series that are being pumped out year after year.
